How it's used
Emphasizes a state or action that persists indefinitely without change or interruption. It often appears with the particle 都 to strengthen the sense of absolute consistency, such as in 永遠都唔會. While it functions similarly to the English forever, it is frequently used in emotional or dramatic contexts to express loyalty or long-term commitment.
Examples
I will never forget you.
Do you think this world will always be this good?

Common mistake
Avoid using it for simple, recurring habits that happen frequently but not permanently, as that is better expressed with 成日. It is reserved for situations implying a permanent, unchanging state rather than just high frequency.
