How it's used
Functions primarily as a modifier rather than a standalone noun in spoken Cantonese. It carries a sense of objectivity and raw truth, often used to describe media that captures real life without dramatization. While it translates to documentary, it is more commonly used to describe the style or approach of a work rather than the genre itself.
