How it's used
This phrase is a formal, often legalistic or journalistic expression that sounds quite stiff in casual conversation. It is borrowed directly from written Chinese and is typically used by public figures or professionals when they want to avoid answering a sensitive question without being overtly rude. Using it in a friendly chat with friends might make you sound like you are being overly dramatic or mocking a politician.
Examples
Regarding this news, I have no comment for now.
He had no comment on the company's decision, he just smiled.
Common phrases
have no comment on this
Common mistake
Learners often use this phrase in everyday situations where a simple 唔講喇 or 冇意見 would be much more natural. It carries a specific weight of professional detachment that is inappropriate for casual social settings.
