How it's used

This phrase combines the verb 入 with the aspect marker 咗 to indicate a completed action of entering or inserting. It is highly versatile, functioning both as a motion verb for entering a physical space and a transitive verb for depositing items or data. When used with money or documents, it implies a successful transfer or submission.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse 入咗 with 入去, which describes the movement towards a space rather than the completion of the action. Use 入咗 when focusing on the state of having already entered or deposited something.
