How it's used
This character is primarily used in formal or literary compounds rather than as a standalone adjective in daily speech. While it conveys the meaning of being exceptional or talented, it is most commonly encountered in idioms or formal titles. When describing someone as talented or outstanding in casual conversation, speakers usually prefer terms like 叻 or 出色.
Examples
He is truly outstanding.

Common mistake
Avoid using this as a standalone adjective to describe a person in casual conversation, as it sounds overly formal or archaic. It is almost exclusively used as part of a two-character compound.
