How it's used

Focuses on the internal sense of peace or relief that comes from a problem being resolved or a worry being put to rest. It is frequently used to describe the state of mind after a burden is lifted, rather than just a general state of happiness. You will often hear it used in the structure of feeling more at ease after a specific event.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with the Mandarin usage of 安樂死, which refers to euthanasia. In Cantonese, using it to describe a state of being physically comfortable or luxurious is less common than using it for emotional peace of mind.
