How it's used
Expresses strong agreement or confirmation of a previous statement, often adding a sense of validation. It functions as a tag at the end of a sentence to signal that the speaker shares the same opinion. It is particularly common in casual conversation to show rapport with the listener.
Examples
He is really handsome, indeed.
Related words
Common phrases
It really is indeed.
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 幾係, which is not a standard phrase. Learners often mistakenly use it as a direct translation of 'very' or 'quite', but it is strictly an agreement marker.
