How it's used

While 呼出 is understood in Cantonese, it sounds quite formal or clinical. In everyday speech, people almost always use 唞氣 to refer to breathing in general, or describe the act of exhaling by saying 噴氣 or simply 呼氣. You will mostly encounter 呼出 in written contexts, medical advice, or when describing a specific action like exhaling smoke or air.

Examples

keoi5佢fu1呼ceot1出go2嗰daam6啖hei3氣hou2好daai6大mei2味aa4呀。

The breath he exhaled smelled very strong.

Common phrases

fu1呼ceot1出jat1一hau2口hei3氣

to let out a breath

fu1呼ceot1出jin1煙mou6霧

to exhale smoke

Common mistake

Do not use 呼出 as a casual way to say you are taking a break or catching your breath, as that is strictly 唞氣. Using 呼出 in a casual conversation about relaxing will sound like you are describing a physiological process rather than a state of rest.
