How it's used
Expresses a state of flux where a final conclusion has not been reached. It is frequently used in professional or formal settings to indicate that a schedule or decision is still subject to change. When used in casual conversation, it often implies that the speaker is waiting for more information before committing to a plan.
Examples
It's still undecided where we are going to hang out next week.
Whether the plan will actually be implemented is still undecided for now.
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 唔定, which implies something is unstable, unpredictable, or erratic in nature rather than just pending a decision.
