How it's used

Functions primarily as a formal conjunction used in written Cantonese or public speeches, similar to the English word 'as well as'. It sounds unnatural in casual, everyday conversation where speakers prefer using 同埋 or 仲有. Using it in a relaxed setting can make the speaker sound overly stiff or like they are reading from a script.

Common mistake

Learners often overuse this word in daily speech because they see it in textbooks. In casual conversation, it is much better to use 同埋 to connect nouns or clauses.
