How it's used

Used primarily when you need to rearrange existing commitments or clear physical clutter to make room for something new. It implies an active effort to create capacity where there was none before, rather than just having free time available. It is frequently used in professional or semi-formal settings when discussing schedules or office space.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to mean simply having free time or being empty. It specifically describes the action of creating space, so it requires an object like 時間 or 地方 to be grammatically complete.
