How it's used
This term is formal and typically appears in news reports, business documents, or official announcements rather than casual conversation. It functions as an adverb to emphasize that an entire quantity or amount has been accounted for or transferred. While it means the same as 全部 or 晒, using it adds a professional or serious tone to the statement.
Examples
He donated all the money to the charity.
This batch of goods has been completely sold out.
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using this in casual daily speech, as it sounds overly stiff or like you are reading from a newspaper. Stick to 晒 or 全部 when talking to friends or family.
