How it's used
Use this word when you need to describe something that lacks specific details or focuses on the big picture rather than individual cases. It is more formal than everyday speech and often appears in professional settings, academic discussions, or when someone is trying to synthesize a complex situation. While it functions as an adjective, it is frequently used as an adverbial modifier when combined with 咁.
Examples
This statement is too general, it would be better to explain it clearly.
Can you summarize the main points for me?

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 總結, which specifically means to summarize or conclude an argument. 概括 focuses on the broad, inclusive nature of a concept, whereas 總結 is about the act of wrapping up a process or a series of events.
