How it's used
Focuses specifically on transportation by vehicle, unlike the broader Mandarin term which can apply to carrying things on one's back or head. It is frequently used in the context of taxis or private cars giving someone a lift. The pronunciation changes to a higher tone when used as a verb compared to its noun form meaning a year or a record.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 帶, which means to bring or carry something on your person. Use 載 when a vehicle is doing the transporting.
