How it's used

Often used in formal or technical contexts to describe removing unnecessary parts of a process or document. While it functions as a verb, it carries a slightly more deliberate tone than just skipping something, implying a decision to remove redundant elements for efficiency.

Examples

These steps can be omitted.

Common mistake

Avoid using this in casual conversation to mean skipping a physical location or a person, as it is strictly for abstract items like steps, procedures, or words. Use 飛 or 略過 instead for more casual contexts.
