How it's used
Primarily used in the context of digital technology to refer to push notifications or automated data delivery. While it can technically mean to push something physically, it sounds quite formal or technical in that sense. Most native speakers encounter this word exclusively when talking about app alerts or server-side data updates.
Examples
Have you received the push notification on your phone yet?
The system will automatically push the latest news.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe physically pushing an object, such as pushing a door or a person, as it sounds unnatural and overly mechanical. Use 推 instead for physical actions.
