How it's used

Functions as a versatile connector for appending items, information, or conditions to an existing base. Unlike simple addition, it often implies that the new element complements or modifies the original subject. It is frequently used in both concrete contexts, like ingredients, and abstract ones, like adding extra reasons or conditions to an argument.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to mean mathematical addition; for numbers, use 加 instead. Learners often mistakenly use 加上 when they simply mean to put something on top of another object, where 擺喺上面 is more natural.
