How it's used
Focuses on an imbalance where one aspect receives disproportionate attention or resources. It often carries a slightly critical or analytical tone, implying that the balance is not quite right or is intentionally skewed. Use it when describing policies, academic curricula, or personal preferences that favor one side over others.
Examples

Common mistake
Avoid using it to mean simply liking something more, as it specifically refers to an imbalance in structure, weight, or emphasis. It is not interchangeable with 鍾意 or 鍾意多啲.
