How it's used
Primarily used in formal or professional settings, such as office work, banking, or official procedures. While it means to verify, it sounds much more serious and administrative than casual alternatives like 睇清楚 or 查清楚. It is rarely used in intimate or highly informal social interactions.

Common mistake
Learners often use it in casual conversation where it sounds overly stiff or bureaucratic. For checking if a friend's story is true or if a meeting time is correct, use 查清楚 or 確認 instead.
