How it's used

Beyond its literal meaning of firing a weapon, this word is frequently used in sports contexts to describe kicking or throwing a ball towards a goal. It carries a sense of directed force and speed, making it applicable to anything from archery to playing football. It is rarely used for throwing objects by hand in a casual sense, where 掟 is preferred instead.

Common mistake

Avoid using this word for general throwing actions, as it specifically implies a projectile being launched with significant velocity or mechanical force. Using it to describe throwing a ball to a friend will sound unnatural or even aggressive.
