How it's used
Functions as a formal adverb used to emphasize the truth or certainty of a statement. While it appears in spoken Cantonese, it carries a slightly more serious or objective tone compared to everyday intensifiers like 真係. It is often used to confirm a fact that might otherwise be doubted by the listener.
Examples
He is indeed very rich, living in the entire building.
This really happened, I am not joking.

Common mistake
Avoid using it as a direct replacement for 真係 in casual conversation, as it can sound overly stiff or academic. It is better suited for confirming facts or providing serious testimony rather than expressing personal feelings.
