How it's used
Technical terminology like this is almost exclusively used in academic or mathematical contexts in Hong Kong. While students learn these terms in school, they rarely appear in casual daily conversation unless discussing geometry homework or specific design patterns. It functions exactly like its English counterpart and follows standard grammatical rules for nouns.
