How it's used
Beyond the literal sense of a ship or typhoon reaching land, this term is widely used in the digital age to mean logging into a website or application. It carries a sense of arrival or establishing a connection to a specific platform. Unlike the formal sense of military or geographical landing, the digital usage is extremely common in everyday tech-related conversations.
Examples
The typhoon will make landfall in Hong Kong tonight.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the English loanword login, which is often pronounced as a noun or verb in Cantonese. While 登陸 is the standard term for logging in, many speakers simply use the English word login directly in casual speech.
