How it's used

Focuses on the lack of cost effectiveness or the absence of a fair return on investment. It is frequently applied to situations where the effort or money spent outweighs the actual benefit gained. Unlike the more formal or abstract ways of discussing value, this phrase feels very grounded in personal judgment and practical decision making.

Examples

le1呢gin2件saam1衫gam3咁gwai3貴，maai5買jyun4完zan1真hai6係mou5冇sou3數wai4為。

This shirt is so expensive, it's really not worth it after buying.

nei5你gok3覺dak1得gam3咁joeng2樣zou6做，dou3到dai2底jau5有mou5冇sou2數wai6為aa4呀？

Do you think doing it this way is actually worth it?

Common mistake

Avoid using this in professional or formal business reports, as it is strictly colloquial. It is also specific to value and worth, so do not use it to describe something that is simply cheap or expensive in a vacuum.
