How it's used
Carries a formal or written tone despite being used in speech to emphasize a point. It functions as a more emphatic version of 係, often used when clarifying the true nature of a situation to others. It frequently appears in official statements or when someone is trying to sound slightly more serious or objective.
Examples
This time being late is really just an accident.
What he did was really just an unintentional mistake.

Common mistake
Avoid using this in casual, everyday conversation with friends, as it can sound overly stiff or like you are reading from a news report. It is much better suited for explaining reasons or justifying actions in a professional or semi-formal context.
