How it's used

This verb is strictly formal and carries a literary weight that makes it sound out of place in casual, everyday speech. It is almost exclusively used in set phrases involving formal events or appointments, such as attending a banquet or a scheduled meeting. In normal conversation, Cantonese speakers would simply use 去 or 出席 instead.

Common mistake

Do not use this word to describe going to common places like the supermarket or work, as it implies a sense of formality or a specific, often solemn, purpose that makes it sound unnatural in daily life.
