How it's used

Describes a person or action that is exceptionally orderly, precise, or fastidious. It carries a sense of being almost overly cautious or stiff in one's movements or habits. While it can imply a positive trait of being neat, it sometimes suggests a personality that is too rigid or lacking in flexibility.

Common phrases

zou6做je5嘢hou2好cuk1娖

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 執, which simply means to tidy up. 娖 specifically emphasizes the meticulous or stiff quality of the process rather than the act of cleaning itself.
