How it's used

This adverb carries a strong sense of logical deduction based on current evidence or trends. It is more formal than simply saying 一定 or 肯定, often appearing in news reports or analytical discussions about future outcomes. It implies that the situation has reached a point where the outcome is unavoidable.

Examples

zoi3再m4唔goi2改zeon3進，gaan1間pou2舖sai3勢bit1必zap1執lap1笠。

If they don't improve, the shop will inevitably close down.

keoi5佢gam3咁joeng2樣zou6做，sai3勢bit1必jan5引hei2起gung1公fan5憤。

Doing it this way will inevitably cause public outrage.

Common phrases

sai3勢bit1必jan5引hei2起

inevitably lead to

sai3勢bit1必faat3發sang1生

inevitably happen

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 一定, but 勢必 specifically emphasizes that the outcome is a direct consequence of current circumstances or trends rather than just a general certainty.
