How it's used
Refers specifically to the porcelain fixture itself rather than the entire room. While people often use the word 馬桶 in casual speech, 坐廁 is the standard term used in hardware stores, renovation contexts, and property listings to distinguish it from a squat toilet, known as 蹲廁.

Common mistake
Avoid using this term to refer to the bathroom or washroom itself, as it strictly denotes the physical bowl. Use 廁所 or 洗手間 when you mean the room.
