How it's used

Focuses on the balance of treatment or opportunity rather than just the absence of bias. It is frequently used in social or legal contexts to describe situations where rules are applied inconsistently. When expressing that something is unfair, adding the intensifier 一啲都唔 before it is the most natural way to emphasize strong disagreement.

Common mistake

Avoid using it to describe physical appearances or objects, as it strictly refers to abstract concepts like justice, distribution, or treatment. For physical balance or level surfaces, use 平 instead.
