How it's used
Beyond the literal weather, this term is frequently used in idioms to describe a person who is visibly happy or successful. It carries a positive, gentle connotation of ease and satisfaction. It is rarely used to describe actual wind in a casual conversation, as people would typically just say 陣風 or 春天嘅風.

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe a literal gust of wind in a practical sense, as it sounds poetic or metaphorical. Learners often confuse it with generic wind terms, but it is almost always reserved for describing a person's demeanor or a specific, pleasant atmosphere.
