How it's used

Refers to a broad category of items designed for specific tasks, ranging from kitchenware to office supplies. It is a formal or semi-formal term that sounds slightly more technical than simply calling something a tool or a thing. It is rarely used to describe a single, simple object in casual conversation, as speakers usually prefer more specific terms like 碗筷 or 文具.

Common mistake

Learners often use this to refer to any tool, but it is specifically for items used to perform a function rather than heavy machinery or construction tools. Avoid using it for items like hammers or screwdrivers, which are better described as 工具.
