Definition
位子 (wèizi) is a concrete noun for a physical seat or specific spot, like a chair at a table or a place in a row. It's more specific to an actual seating location than 座位 (zuòwèi), which is a general term for a seat. Unlike 位置 (wèizhì, position/location), 位子 always refers to a place you can sit or occupy.
