How it's used
Sending postcards is a classic way to share travel experiences, but the term is strictly for the physical card itself. Unlike letters, they are sent without an envelope, making the message visible to anyone handling the mail. It is common to pair this with the verb 寄, which specifically refers to the act of mailing it from a destination.
