How it's used

Primarily used in sports contexts to describe a game where neither side wins, but it also functions as a versatile metaphor for any situation where two parties reach a stalemate. It carries a sense of mutual agreement to stop competing, rather than just a mathematical equality. In business or personal finance, it is frequently used to describe a break even point where neither profit nor loss is made.

Examples

The match ended in a draw, everyone was very disappointed.

nei5你dei6哋loeng5兩go3個sat6實lik6力gam3咁zip3接gan6近，bat1不jyu4如daa2打wo4和laa1啦？

Common phrases

daa2打wo4和sau1收coeng4場

to end in a draw

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 平手, which is a noun or adjective describing the state of being tied. While they are often interchangeable, 打和 specifically emphasizes the action or the result of the competition ending in a tie.
