How it's used
Primarily used in digital contexts for emails or messages, this term functions as a direct equivalent to the English forward. While it is standard in professional settings, it is also perfectly natural in casual communication when discussing shared links or documents.
Examples
Please forward that email to me so I can take a look.
Have you forwarded this letter to the manager yet?

Common mistake
Avoid using this for physical mail or packages, as it specifically implies a digital relay process. For physical items being sent elsewhere, use 寄去 instead.
