How it's used

Focuses specifically on the formal conclusion of a set duration or legal term. It is commonly found in administrative or business contexts rather than casual conversation about daily events. When referring to perishable goods like food, use 過期 instead.

Examples

Common phrases

Common mistake

Avoid using this for everyday items like milk or medicine, as it sounds overly formal and legalistic in those contexts. Use 過期 for anything that has passed its shelf life.
