How it's used
Functions primarily as a bound morpheme in modern Cantonese rather than a standalone verb. It is most frequently encountered in the compound noun 之旅, which adds a slightly formal or poetic flair to the concept of a journey or trip. Use this structure to describe specific types of travel, such as a commemorative or thematic experience.
Examples
We are going on a trip to Japan next month.

Common mistake
Avoid using 旅 as a standalone verb for travel in daily speech, as it sounds archaic or literary. Use 去旅行 instead to express the action of traveling.
