How it's used

This term is primarily used in formal or written contexts to describe a collapse due to physical exhaustion. In everyday spoken Cantonese, people almost always prefer using phrases like 頂唔順 or 撐唔住 instead. It carries a slightly dramatic or journalistic tone, often appearing in news reports about athletes or people working long hours.

Examples

He ran for a long time and finally couldn't keep going.
If you keep pushing yourself like this, you will eventually collapse from exhaustion.

Common phrases

physical exhaustion

Common mistake

Avoid using this in casual conversation, as it sounds overly literary and stiff. It is not a standard verb for everyday fatigue like being tired from a long day at work.
