How it's used
This term functions as both a state of extreme fatigue and a verb meaning to cause someone else to suffer negative consequences. When used for fatigue, it acts as a complement of result, often following a verb like 做到. When used for causing trouble, it implies that the subject's actions have inadvertently or maliciously ruined someone else's situation.

Common mistake
Do not confuse the two meanings. If you say 佢累死我, it usually means they caused you a major problem or ruined your plans, not that they made you physically tired.
