How it's used
Used primarily in formal or professional contexts, such as business, infrastructure, or technical specifications. It implies a deliberate increase in scale, capacity, or scope rather than just a simple addition. While it functions as a verb, it is rarely used in casual, everyday conversation where simpler alternatives like 加大 or 擴大 are preferred.
Examples
The company recently expanded its business.

Common mistake
Avoid using this for physical objects that are simply stretched or made larger in size, as it specifically refers to organizational, systemic, or technical expansion.
