How it's used

This character is rarely used in modern spoken Cantonese and is largely restricted to literary or descriptive writing. Most native speakers would prefer using terms like 暖笠笠 or 舒服 to describe warmth or comfort in daily life. Using this word in casual conversation might make you sound like you are reciting poetry or reading from a formal text.
