How it's used

Primarily used in formal or geographical contexts to describe land borders between countries or regions. It implies a direct physical connection of territory rather than just being near each other. While it appears in news reports or textbooks, it is less common in casual, everyday conversation compared to simply saying 黐住 or 隔籬.

Common mistake

Avoid using this word to describe the proximity of two buildings or small objects, as it specifically refers to large-scale geographical or political boundaries. Using it for everyday items sounds overly formal and unnatural.
