How it's used

Functions as both an adverb and an adjective, though it is most commonly used to describe doing something in a proper or thorough manner. When used as an adjective, it often implies a sense of stability or harmony in a relationship or situation. It carries a warm, caring tone that suggests a genuine concern for the quality of an action or the state of a person.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 好好, which is a common reduplication meaning very good. While 好好嘅 is grammatically acceptable, native speakers often prefer just 好好 when describing a state, or use it as an adverbial modifier before a verb.
