How it's used

Focuses on the physical or mental capacity to endure a negative situation, often implying that the limit of one's patience or endurance is being tested. It is frequently used in the negative form 頂唔順 to express that someone has reached their breaking point and can no longer tolerate a person, environment, or physical sensation.

Examples

This job is so tough, how do you manage to put up with it?
The weather is so hot, I really can't take it anymore.

Common phrases

how can one put up with it

Common mistake

Learners often confuse 頂得順 with 忍受, but 頂得順 is much more informal and carries a stronger sense of personal struggle or physical discomfort rather than just abstract patience.
