How it's used

Focuses on the secretive or persistent nature of trailing someone, often implying an unwanted or suspicious motive. While it can be used in a professional context like police work, it is frequently associated with paparazzi or stalkers. It carries a stronger, more negative connotation than simply walking behind someone.

Common mistake

Avoid using this for simply walking behind a friend or colleague in a casual setting, as it implies a lack of consent or a hidden agenda. Use 跟住 instead for neutral or friendly situations where you are just accompanying someone.
