How it's used

Emphasizes a firm refusal or a strong negative stance, functioning similarly to an emphatic 'absolutely not'. It carries a slightly formal or literary weight compared to everyday intensifiers like 絕對, making it sound more resolute and serious when spoken. It is almost exclusively paired with negative markers like 唔 to reinforce the impossibility of an action.

Common mistake
