How it's used
Scientific terminology like this is often borrowed directly from written Chinese and pronounced with Cantonese readings in a classroom setting. While technically accurate, it sounds very formal and is rarely used outside of chemistry lessons or laboratory contexts. In casual conversation, people would likely describe the state of the liquid instead of using the formal term.

Common mistake
Learners often try to use this term in everyday cooking contexts, but it is strictly a scientific term. Using it to describe a very sweet drink or a salty soup will sound unnatural and overly academic.
