How it's used

This phrase is used to signal satisfaction after a period of disappointment or sub-par performance.

It is often used when someone finally follows instructions correctly or when a negotiation finally hits a fair point.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with the literal phrase 差唔多, which simply means almost or nearly. When used as a standalone exclamation to express approval, the 咁就 prefix is essential to convey the sense of that is finally acceptable.
