Definition
A bunch or cluster; used as a classifier for grouped objects.
colloquialdaily actions
How it's used
Use this classifier specifically for items that are bundled together or held in one hand, such as keys, grapes, or flowers. It implies a cluster that is physically tied or naturally grouped together. Unlike the more general measure word 個, this highlights the collective nature of the items.
Examples
Whose bunch of keys is this?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 紮, which is also used for bunches but often implies items that are tied together with string or ribbon. While they overlap, 㨢 often feels more natural for items held in a cluster like keys.
