How it's used
Functioning as an adverb, this term is primarily used in formal or written contexts to express high certainty. In casual spoken Cantonese, people often prefer using 肯定 or 梗係 instead, as 無疑 can sound slightly stiff or literary in everyday conversation. It is best reserved for expressing a strong, objective opinion or summarizing a situation where the facts seem clear.

Common mistake
Avoid using this as a direct response to a question, as it is not a standalone interjection like 'sure' or 'definitely'. It requires a full clause to follow it to complete the thought.
