How it's used
Focuses on the sum of multiple items or quantities rather than just a single total amount. It is frequently used in formal or semi formal contexts, such as receipts, invoices, or when discussing financial figures. In casual daily speech, people often prefer using 加埋 to express the same idea of adding things together.
Examples
We bought ten apples in total.

Common mistake
Avoid using it to describe people gathering together, as it specifically refers to numerical or quantitative totals. Do not confuse it with 集合, which is used for people or objects coming together in one place.
