How it's used
Focuses primarily on physical or logical links between systems, devices, or infrastructure. It is more formal than the everyday verb 駁, which is preferred when talking about plugging in cables or connecting household appliances. Use it when describing abstract connections or large-scale systems like transport routes or data networks.
Examples
This line connects two different networks.
Has your phone connected to the Bluetooth yet?
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using it for simple physical attachments like plugging in a toaster or connecting a hose, as 駁 is much more natural in those daily contexts.
