How it's used
Emphasizes that something is entirely untouched or original, often used in marketing to highlight that a product has never been used or opened. It functions as an adjective that can be placed directly before a noun or used with the particle 嘅 to describe a state of being brand new.
Examples
I bought a brand new phone.
This is a completely new environment, are you used to it?

Common mistake
Avoid using it to describe something that is simply 'modern' or 'recent' in a general sense, as it implies a total lack of prior existence or usage. For things that are just updated or improved, words like 新式 or 改良版 are more appropriate.
