How it's used
Originally associated with rewarding performers or street artists, this term has evolved to cover digital tipping on social media platforms and live streams. It carries a slightly more formal or deliberate tone than simply saying 俾貼士. Using this word implies a conscious decision to reward someone for their specific effort rather than just following a standard service charge.
Examples
Your service is so good today, I will give you a bigger tip.
The waiters here are very hardworking, will you tip them?
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using this in casual restaurant settings where 俾貼士 is the standard term. 打賞 often implies a sense of patronage or rewarding a performance, making it sound slightly out of place when referring to routine service at a local cafe.
