How it's used
Distinguish carefully between the noun usage for categories and the common adjective usage meaning stylish or cool. When referring to a specific product model, it is almost always paired with 號 to form 型號. It functions as a classifier for categories of things, often interchangeable with 類 or 種 in casual speech.

Common mistake
Do not confuse the noun meaning category with the very common adjective meaning cool or stylish, as the latter is used much more frequently in daily life.
