How it's used
While 複習 is understood in Cantonese, native speakers overwhelmingly prefer the term 温習 when talking about studying or reviewing school material. 複習 sounds slightly more formal or academic, often appearing in textbooks or structured learning environments. Using 温習 will make your speech sound much more natural and local.
Examples
Are you done reviewing yet? How about we go eat?

Common mistake
Learners often use 複習 interchangeably with 温習, but 複習 can also imply repeating an action or process in a broader sense, whereas 温習 is almost exclusively reserved for academic study.
