How it's used

While this term is widely understood, it often carries a slightly formal or professional tone compared to more casual alternatives like 講好咗 or 定咗. It is frequently used in business or logistical contexts where a final, unchangeable agreement is required. Using it in very casual conversation can sometimes make you sound like you are giving a formal announcement.

Common mistake

Learners often use this when they simply mean to confirm a fact or express certainty, but it is specifically used for finalizing a plan or a decision. If you want to say you are sure about a piece of information, use 肯定 instead.
