How it's used
This term carries a slightly more formal or serious tone compared to the common future-oriented expression 將來. It is frequently used when discussing long-term consequences, career prospects, or promises to be fulfilled later. While it functions as a noun indicating a future time, it often acts as an adverbial phrase within a sentence to set the timeframe for an action.
Examples
What are your plans for the future?
I will definitely repay you in the future.
