How it's used
This is the formal, full name used in diplomatic and geographical contexts in Hong Kong. Because it is a long, complex name, people often shorten it to 德左 or simply refer to the region by its geographical location if the context is clear. It is rarely used in casual conversation unless discussing international politics or obscure travel destinations.
Examples
