How it's used

Focuses on abstract concepts that lack a physical presence, such as pressure, influence, or assets. It is frequently used in business or psychological contexts to describe things that cannot be touched or seen but are nonetheless felt or acknowledged. Unlike physical objects, it describes the nature of a situation rather than an item.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe things that are simply hidden or out of sight, like a person hiding behind a door. Use 睇唔到 instead for things that are physically present but currently obscured.
