How it's used
Focuses on the scale and impact of power or influence rather than physical strength. It is frequently used to describe abstract concepts like organizations, systems, or internal motivation. Unlike words describing physical muscle, this implies a capacity to exert significant control or produce major results.
Examples
Their team is really powerful.
This plan has strong backing.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe a person's physical fitness, as it sounds unnatural in that context. Use 強壯 instead when talking about a person's body or physical health.
