How it's used

Focuses on physical or structural imperfections rather than abstract ones. It is commonly used in medical contexts to describe congenital conditions or in retail to describe damaged goods. Unlike more general words for broken or bad, this implies a specific missing part or a failure to meet a standard of completeness.

Common mistake

Avoid using this for general broken items like a smashed phone screen or a torn shirt, as it sounds too clinical or formal for casual damage. Use 爛 or 壞 instead for everyday objects.
