How it's used
This phrase is a formal idiom that has been adopted into everyday speech to describe things that are inescapable or overly pervasive. It carries a slightly more serious or emphatic tone than simply saying 周圍都係. It is frequently used when discussing technology, surveillance, or trends that have saturated daily life.
Examples
Modern technology is truly everywhere; even buying groceries requires a phone.
Do you think this kind of advertisement is already everywhere?
Common phrases
ubiquitous influence
ubiquitous surveillance
Common mistake
Learners often mistakenly use this to describe physical objects that are scattered around, like toys on a floor. It is intended for abstract concepts, systems, or pervasive phenomena rather than just a large quantity of items.
