How it's used

Refers primarily to the act of measuring physical dimensions or abstract concepts with a standard tool or scale. While it functions as a verb, it is often used in more formal or technical contexts compared to everyday verbs like 度. It carries a sense of precision and objective assessment rather than a casual estimation.

Common mistake

Avoid using it for casual estimation or quick checks where 度 or 估下 is more natural. It sounds overly formal or academic when used in simple daily tasks like checking if a piece of furniture fits in a room.
