How it's used

Focuses on the movement of air rather than just the presence of windows. It is frequently used to describe architectural spaces or clothing materials that allow air to pass through easily. When describing a room, it often implies a pleasant, breezy quality that prevents the air from becoming stagnant.

Examples

This room is well-ventilated and won't feel stuffy.

Common phrases

hou2好tung1通fung1風

very well-ventilated

m4唔tung1通fung1風

poorly ventilated

Common mistake

Avoid using this to mean 'to ventilate' as a transitive verb like 'to open a window for ventilation', as it functions primarily as an adjective in Cantonese. For the action of opening windows to let air in, use 開窗透氣 instead.
