How it's used
This term is primarily used in formal or academic contexts, such as during presentations, reports, or legal discussions. It carries a sense of systematic or exhaustive enumeration rather than just mentioning things casually. In everyday conversation, people are much more likely to use 講出嚟 or 數出嚟 instead.
Examples
He cited a lot of evidence to prove he was not wrong.

Common mistake
Learners often use this in casual settings where it sounds overly stiff or academic. It is not a word you would use when simply asking a friend to name a few movies or restaurants.
