How it's used
Formal contexts are where this word shines, as it carries a sense of official procedure or professional duty. Unlike 拎畀, which simply means to hand something to someone, 遞交 implies a structured process of turning in documents or applications to an authority or organization.
Examples
Have you submitted the application form yet?
Remember to submit the report to the boss before tomorrow.

Common mistake
