How it's used

Although 歇宿 is a valid word, it carries a slightly formal or literary tone that is rarely heard in casual daily speech. Most Hong Kongers prefer using the more direct phrases 瞓一晚 or 過夜 when talking about staying somewhere overnight. It is more likely to appear in written descriptions of travel or formal arrangements rather than in a conversation between friends.

Common phrases

Common mistake

Learners often mistake this for a common verb, but using it in casual conversation can sound overly dramatic or like you are reading from a formal document. Stick to 過夜 for everyday situations.
