How it's used
Functions as a formal logical connector used to introduce a conclusion drawn from previous evidence. While it appears in spoken Cantonese, it carries a slightly academic or analytical tone compared to more casual ways of saying 'so' or 'therefore' like 咁樣或者所以. It is most commonly found in written reports, news commentary, or when someone is making a structured argument during a serious discussion.
Examples
He is always late, which shows he has no interest in his job.
He is so nervous, which shows that the matter is very important to him.

Common mistake
Learners often overuse this in casual conversation where a simple 咁 or 所以 would sound more natural. Using it in everyday small talk can make you sound like you are giving a formal presentation or reading from a textbook.
