How it's used

It often appears in formal or professional contexts, such as evaluating work, legal compliance, or logical consistency. When describing physical objects fitting into a space or shape, use 啱或者啱用 instead.

Common mistake
Learners often use it to mean physically fitting into something, like clothes or a box, but it is strictly for abstract criteria or conditions. For physical fit, use 啱身 or 裝得落.
