How it's used
While often used as a formal verb in business settings, it functions as a noun when referring to the money itself. It is frequently paired with the particle 嘅 or used in compound structures like 申請退款 to describe the process of requesting money back. Unlike everyday verbs, it carries a slightly more professional or transactional tone.
Examples
This shirt doesn't fit, I would like a refund.

Common mistake
