How it's used
Functioning primarily as a formal conjunction, this character is rarely used in casual spoken Cantonese. It is mostly encountered in written contexts or formal speeches to connect two adjectives or clauses. Native speakers almost always prefer using 仲有 or 又...又... in daily conversation to express the same additive meaning.
Examples
He is both hardworking and smart.

Common mistake
Learners often mistakenly use this in everyday speech where it sounds overly stiff or literary. It is not a direct substitute for the common conjunction 同 or the adverb 仲.
