How it's used
Using 有創意 is the standard way to describe someone or something that displays original thinking. It is frequently paired with the intensifier 好 to emphasize the level of ingenuity. Unlike formal written Chinese, Cantonese speakers often add the particle 㗎 or 呀 at the end of sentences to soften the tone when praising someone's work.
Examples
The method he thought of is very creative.
