How it's used
Often used in a critical or analytical tone to describe something as an inevitable result of a specific environment or trend. While it can refer to physical goods, it is far more common in spoken Cantonese to describe abstract outcomes like social phenomena, personal habits, or political consequences.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to refer to simple manufactured goods like a chair or a phone, as it sounds overly formal or academic in those contexts. Use 產品 for commercial products instead.
