How it's used

Using 可以避免 often carries a slightly formal or analytical tone compared to more direct ways of saying something is unnecessary or preventable. It is frequently used in professional settings, reports, or when discussing logical consequences of actions. In casual conversation, people might prefer using phrases like 唔使發生 or 其實可以唔使咁樣.

Common mistake
