How it's used
Functions as a temporal marker to introduce the immediate sequence of events, often acting as a transition in speech or presentations. It carries a slightly more narrative or structured feel than just saying 之後. It is common to hear it used to signal a change in topic or a shift in focus during a conversation.
Examples
Where are we going to eat next?
The next program is very boring.

Common mistake
Avoid using it as a direct translation for the adjective next in all contexts, such as next week or next year, where 嚟緊 is the standard choice instead.
