How it's used
Describes objects that are completely filled inside with no empty space or air pockets. It is frequently used to contrast with 空心, which describes things that are hollow or have a cavity inside. Beyond physical objects, it can metaphorically describe someone who is sincere or straightforward, though this is less common than the literal usage.
Examples
This ball is solid, it feels quite heavy.
Is the pillow you bought solid or hollow?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 實在, which is used to describe someone who is reliable or down to earth. While 實心 refers to the physical density of an object, 實在 refers to a person's character or the truthfulness of a situation.
