How it's used
This term is primarily used in formal notices, advertisements, or official correspondence rather than in casual daily speech. It carries a sense of urgency that implies a deadline or limited availability. When used in spoken Cantonese, it often sounds quite stiff or bureaucratic, so it is usually reserved for serious requests or business contexts.
Examples
Please handle this complaint as soon as possible.
If you want to buy it, you better hurry.

Common mistake
Learners often mistakenly use this in everyday conversation to mean hurry up, but it is too formal for telling a friend to move faster. Use 快啲 instead for casual situations.
