How it's used
Carry a formal tone that is more commonly found in news reports or official announcements rather than casual conversation. When speaking informally, people usually prefer phrases like 執笠 or 唔做喇 to describe a business shutting down. Use this term if you want to sound professional or when discussing the closure of a well-established business.
Examples
This shop is closing down next month.
Do you know why they suddenly stopped operations?
Related words
Common phrases
announce the closure of business
forced to close down
Common mistake
Avoid using this for temporary closures, as it implies a permanent cessation of business. For a temporary break, use 休息 instead.
