How it's used

Focuses on the sense of being included in a group or sharing in the responsibility or outcome of an event. It often implies a sense of belonging or accountability, rather than just simple participation. It is frequently used to tease someone who claims innocence in a collective mistake by pointing out they were indeed involved.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with the Mandarin word 有份 which can sometimes mean to have a share or portion of something material. In Cantonese, it is almost exclusively used for participating in an action or event.
