How it's used
Functions as a formal conjunction that introduces an additional point or argument. While it is perfectly acceptable in spoken Cantonese, speakers often prefer the more casual 同埋 or 仲有 when connecting simple clauses in everyday conversation. Using it helps to structure a more sophisticated or persuasive point during a discussion.
Examples
He is very hardworking, and he is also very good to his colleagues.
The food here is very cheap, and it tastes pretty good too.

Common mistake
Avoid using it to connect two simple noun phrases, as it is strictly for linking clauses or sentences. For connecting nouns, use 同埋 instead.
