How it's used

Focuses on the act of failing to pay attention to something that requires care or consideration. It often implies a sense of oversight or lack of diligence rather than intentional malice. While it functions as a verb, it is frequently used in formal or semi-formal contexts to discuss social issues or professional responsibilities.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 唔理, which is much more informal and implies a deliberate choice to ignore or disregard someone or something. Using 忽略 in casual conversation can sound slightly stiff or overly serious.
