How it's used

Refers specifically to the act of signing one's name on a formal document or letter to verify identity or intent. While it functions as a noun, it is frequently used as a verb in spoken Cantonese by adding the aspect marker 咗 or by placing it before a direct object. It carries a more formal and official tone compared to the casual act of just writing one's name.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with the general act of signing a name, but it is strictly reserved for formal contexts like contracts or official letters. Do not use it for casual situations like signing a birthday card or an autograph, where 簽名 is the appropriate choice.
