How it's used
Focuses on the distinctness or isolation of items within a group, often implying that a blanket approach is not suitable. It is frequently used in formal or professional settings to emphasize that specific cases require tailored attention. Unlike general adverbs of separation, it carries a sense of careful consideration for each individual unit.
Examples

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the Mandarin usage where it can mean 'rare' or 'few'. In Cantonese, it strictly functions to describe the act of separating items or people for individual treatment.
