How it's used
Refers to a category or classification based on shared characteristics. While it is a standard noun, it often appears in contexts involving preferences, such as describing a romantic partner or a specific style of item. It is more formal than using terms like 款式 or 類.

Common mistake
Avoid using it as a verb. Learners sometimes mistakenly try to use it to mean 'to type' on a keyboard, but the correct Cantonese verb for that is 打字.
