How it's used

Functions as a formal conjunction that is significantly more common in written Cantonese than in casual speech. While perfectly understandable, native speakers usually prefer using 方便 or 為咗 when speaking to friends or family. It carries a slightly instructional or administrative tone, often appearing in manuals, notices, or formal requests.

Common mistake

Avoid using this in casual conversation as it can sound overly stiff or like you are reading from a document. For everyday speech, use 方便 instead to express the same purpose.
