How it's used
Focuses on the sense of closure and absence of flaws, often used in formal or semi-formal contexts to describe the conclusion of events or relationships. It implies that everything has been taken care of and there are no loose ends left behind. While it sounds slightly more elevated than casual speech, it is frequently heard in speeches, news reports, or when summarizing the outcome of a significant effort.
Examples
The project was carried out very satisfactorily, and everyone is very happy.
Do you think this performance can be considered a complete success?
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe physical objects or simple tasks, as it carries a sense of abstract fulfillment or success rather than just being finished. It is not interchangeable with words like 完咗, which simply means something has ended.
