How it's used
Used primarily in informal contexts to describe the act of pulling or extracting something from a container or a larger sum. It often carries a sense of physical effort or a quick, decisive action. While it can refer to money, it is equally applicable to pulling items out of a bag or pocket.
Examples
Hurry up and extract some money out.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the formal term 提取, which is used in banking or official documents. Using 頡 in a professional or written context will sound overly casual or even slightly crude.
