How it's used
This term is primarily used in formal, written, or signage contexts rather than casual speech. In everyday conversation, people almost exclusively use 入去 or 入嚟 to express the action of entering a space. Using it in a casual setting can make you sound like you are reading from a formal notice or an official announcement.
Examples
Can we go inside to take a look?

Common mistake
Learners often use this because it looks like a direct translation of 'enter inside', but it sounds overly stiff and unnatural in daily life. Stick to 入去 when talking to friends or family.
