How it's used

This term is distinctly literary and formal, rarely appearing in casual daily speech. It is almost exclusively used in the set phrase 別來無恙 when greeting someone you have not seen for a long time. Using it in a standard conversation about health would sound overly dramatic or archaic.

Examples

hou2好noi6耐mou5冇gin3見，nei5你bit6別loi4來mou4無joeng6恙aa4呀？

Long time no see, have you been well?

keoi5佢daai6大naan6難bat1不sei2死，zung6仲ho2可ji5以waa6話hai6係mou4無joeng6恙。

He survived the disaster and can still be considered unharmed.

Common phrases

bit6別loi4來mou4無joeng6恙

Have you been well since we last met?

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe minor health issues like a cold or headache, as it implies a complete lack of illness or injury. It is not a substitute for standard colloquial terms like 冇事 or 健康.
