How it's used
Refers specifically to functional items or supplies needed for a particular task or setting rather than general goods or merchandise. It often appears as a suffix in compound words to categorize items by their purpose, such as 運動用品 or 清潔用品. Unlike the broader term 嘢, which can mean anything, this word implies a degree of utility and organization.
