How it's used
Refers specifically to a flat, two dimensional surface in geometry or design contexts. It is rarely used in casual conversation to describe physical objects unless discussing architecture, engineering, or technical drawing. When describing something that is physically flat, speakers usually prefer the adjective 平.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the adjective 平, which means flat or cheap. Using 平面 to describe a flat table or a flat road sounds overly academic or technical.
