Definition
共用 is most often used as an attributive adjective meaning 'shared' or 'common' before a noun (共用资源, 共用空间). It can also function as a verb meaning 'to share' or 'to use altogether', as in 共用时间 'to take (a total amount of) time', but this verb sense is not captured by the current POS label. As an attributive, it describes resources, facilities, or spaces that are used collectively.
