How it's used

Used primarily in literary or descriptive contexts to describe someone or something that is untamable, rebellious, or spirited. It carries a sense of untamed energy that defies conventional boundaries or authority. While it can describe horses, applying it to people implies a strong-willed, perhaps even stubborn, nature.

Examples

le1呢pat1匹maa5馬hou2好ngou4驁，hou2好naan4難seon4馴fuk6服。

Common phrases

a wild, untamed horse

sing3性gaak3格ngou4驁

to have a wild or rebellious personality

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with the common word 傲, which means arrogant or proud. While both can describe a person's character, 驁 focuses on the wild, untamed aspect, whereas 傲 focuses on social superiority or vanity.
