How it's used
Used almost exclusively in formal, legal, or administrative contexts such as police reports, court documents, or official correspondence. It functions as a shorthand to avoid repeating a specific location that has already been identified earlier in the text. You will rarely hear this in casual conversation, as it sounds overly bureaucratic and stiff.
Examples
The police have already gone to the aforementioned address to investigate.
May I ask if the aforementioned address is your company's registered address?

Common phrases

Common mistake
Do not use this in casual speech to refer to a place you just mentioned, as it will make you sound like you are reading a police statement. Use 嗰度 or 嗰個地方 instead for everyday communication.
