How it's used
善用 carries a positive, purposeful tone that implies not just using something, but maximizing its potential or value. It is frequently used in formal contexts like corporate reports or public service announcements, but it remains perfectly natural in everyday speech when discussing productivity or resource management.
Examples
We should make good use of our time to learn new things.
Do you know how to make wise use of these resources?

Common mistake
Avoid using it for casual, everyday consumption like eating or drinking, as it specifically highlights the wisdom or efficiency behind the action rather than the act of using itself.
