How it's used
Focuses on the process of confirming the truth or accuracy of information rather than just looking into a situation. It carries a slightly formal or professional tone compared to everyday verbs like 睇清楚 or 搞清楚. Use this when dealing with news, rumors, or official facts that require evidence.
Examples
Have you verified it yet? Don't just say things randomly.

Common mistake
Avoid using this for simple physical tasks like checking if a door is locked or checking a list, where 檢查 is much more natural.
