How it's used
The suffix 埋 adds a sense of inclusion or completion to the main verb, often implying that someone is joining an existing group or activity. It carries a slightly informal tone and is frequently used when describing someone tagging along or being brought into a situation. When used with movement verbs, it emphasizes the act of accompanying someone else to a destination.
Related words
Common mistake
Learners often confuse 埋 with the verb 埋單, which means to pay the bill. Remember that when used as a suffix, it acts as a particle indicating inclusion, whereas in 埋單 it is part of a specific idiomatic verb phrase.
