How it's used

Refers specifically to a woman who is mute, often used in older generations or informal contexts. While it describes a physical condition, it is sometimes perceived as blunt or insensitive by modern standards compared to more neutral terms like 唔講得嘢嘅女人. It is rarely used in professional or formal settings where person first language is preferred.

Common mistake

Avoid using this term to describe someone who is simply quiet or shy, as it specifically denotes a medical inability to speak. Using it to label someone who chooses not to talk can be considered rude or offensive.
