- 1功能（軟體、機器能做哪些事。台灣口語幾乎都說「功能」，較少說「功能性」。）
Functionality is what a computer, a program, or a piece of equipment can do — one job, or the whole set of jobs. People in tech use it all the time: “more functionality” means it can do more things. It can name the whole range (“the functionality of this app”) or one capability (“search functionality”). Though actually, careful speakers often prefer function or feature. Functionality has become a bit of an office-and-software word, and people sometimes pile it on when they only mean “it works” or “it has this button.” You hear it in manuals, product talks, and business English much more than in warm everyday chat.
