How it's used

Functions as a formal or literary alternative to 都可以. It is rarely used in casual spoken Cantonese, where speakers prefer using 都可以 or 仲可以 instead. Using it in daily conversation often makes the speaker sound like they are reading from a written document or trying to sound overly sophisticated.

Examples

Common mistake

Learners often overuse this in casual speech because it appears frequently in written Chinese. Stick to 都可以 for everyday interactions to avoid sounding unnatural or overly formal.
