How it's used
Focuses on the frequency of occurrence rather than the quality or value of an object. It is often used in professional or analytical contexts to describe patterns, symptoms, or errors. While it sounds slightly more formal than using phrases like 成日見, it remains perfectly acceptable in everyday speech.
Examples
This type of illness is very common in winter.
Have you seen this common type of insect?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe people or personal habits, as it can sound clinical or detached. For describing someone who is seen everywhere, use 熟口熟面 instead.
