How it's used
Often functions as an adverbial modifier for verbs related to analysis, discussion, or investigation. It implies going beyond the surface level to reach the core or essence of a topic. While it can describe physical depth, it is far more common in abstract contexts involving intellectual or professional rigor.
Examples
We need to study this matter thoroughly to know the truth.
Can you explain this concept in more depth?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with physical depth like deep water or a deep hole, which uses 深 instead. Using 深入 for physical objects sounds unnatural or overly formal.
