How it's used
Primarily used in competitive contexts like sports or gambling to describe consecutive victories. It functions as a verb phrase where the aspect marker 咗 or the continuous particle 落去 is often inserted between 連 and 贏 to specify the duration or persistence of the streak.
Examples
They have won three games in a row this season.
Do you think they can keep on winning?
Related words
Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 贏連, which is not a standard phrase. Remember that the action of winning follows the prefix 連, which acts as a modifier indicating the consecutive nature of the event.
