How it's used
Emphasizing the frequency of an action, this adverb is almost always paired with the particle 都 to reinforce the sense of consistency. It sounds much more natural in spoken Cantonese than the formal 每日, which is typically reserved for written contexts or more structured speech.
Examples
He goes jogging in the park every day.
Do you have to go to work every day?

Common mistake
Avoid using 每日 in casual conversation, as it can sound overly formal or stiff. Stick to 日日 for daily life interactions.
