How it's used
Financial terminology in Cantonese often mirrors formal written Chinese, and this term is no exception. It is primarily used in banking or academic contexts rather than casual daily chatter. When discussing personal loans or investments, people are much more likely to talk about interest rates generally than to specify the mathematical method of interest calculation.
