How it's used

Carries a formal and literary weight that makes it sound out of place in casual, everyday conversation. It is typically reserved for abstract concepts like rights, responsibilities, or divine gifts rather than physical objects. You will most often encounter it in written media, official speeches, or philosophical discussions.

Common mistake

Learners often mistakenly use it as a direct synonym for the common verb 畀, but 賦予 implies a sense of solemnity or high-level authority that 畀 lacks. Avoid using it for mundane actions like handing someone a pen or a cup of water.
