How it's used
Expressing a formal or semi-formal tone, this phrase is often used in professional or academic contexts to describe a positive change. It carries a sense of objective observation rather than casual opinion. While it functions as a verb phrase, it is rarely used in very informal, everyday speech where simpler alternatives are preferred.
Examples

Common mistake
Avoid using this in casual conversation with friends, as it sounds overly stiff or bureaucratic. For informal situations, use 變好咗 or 好咗啲 instead.
