How it's used
While often used for formal performances or choir settings, it is also frequently applied to casual karaoke sessions where friends join in on a track. Unlike the Mandarin usage which can feel slightly more formal, the Cantonese term is perfectly natural for describing any instance of two or more people singing the same melody simultaneously.
Examples
The two of them are singing the song together on stage.
Why don't we sing this song together later?
Common phrases
duet by a male and female
