How it's used

Use this phrase to deflect a compliment or to acknowledge that you and the other person share the same situation or shortcoming. It functions as a humble way to say that you are no better or worse than the person speaking to you. Adding the particle 啫 at the end softens the tone and makes it sound more natural in casual conversation.

Examples

gaap3甲：nei5你gam1今jat6日hou2好mong4忙wo5喎！jyut6乙：bei2彼ci2此bei2彼ci2此ze1啫。

A: You are so busy today! B: Same here.

daai6大gaa1家dou1都hai6係bun3半gan1斤baat3八loeng5両，bei2彼ci2此bei2彼ci2此laa1啦。

We are both much the same, so let's call it even.

Common phrases

Common mistake

Avoid using this in formal or professional settings where a sincere thank you is expected, as it can sound dismissive or overly casual. It is strictly for peer to peer interactions where you want to downplay a compliment or emphasize mutual status.
