How it's used

Expresses a strong sense of certainty or inevitability regarding a future event. It is frequently paired with the particle 㗎 or 喇 to emphasize the speaker's confidence in their prediction. Unlike formal written Chinese, it is almost always used in spoken Cantonese to reassure someone or state a logical conclusion.

Common mistake

Avoid using it to express obligation or necessity, as it strictly refers to future certainty. For expressing that someone must do something, use 必須 or 要 instead.
