How it's used

While it functions as an adverb, it is less flexible in sentence structure than colloquial alternatives.

Common mistake

Learners often mistake this for a standard daily word, but it can sound slightly stiff or old-fashioned in casual conversation. Use 成日 or 係咁意 for more natural, everyday speech.
