How it's used

This term is primarily used in formal, legal, or professional contexts rather than casual daily speech. It carries a sense of strategic or calculated avoidance, often implying that someone is trying to find a loophole or bypass a regulation. In everyday conversation, people would typically use 避開 instead.

Common mistake
