How it's used

It is frequently used in workplace settings or when confirming that someone has correctly understood a set of instructions.
Examples

Common mistake
Avoid using this in casual social settings where 講多次 or 重複係 is much more natural. Using 複述 in a conversation with friends can sound overly clinical or like an interrogation.
