How it's used

As a bound morpheme, this character rarely stands alone in spoken Cantonese and is almost always part of a compound word. It carries a formal or industrial tone, often appearing in business or economic contexts. When referring to the act of making something in everyday speech, native speakers prefer using 造 or 整 instead.

Common mistake

Avoid using this as a standalone verb in casual conversation, as it sounds highly academic or like a direct translation from written Chinese. It is primarily used in formal compounds like 生產 or 出產.
