How it's used
Primarily used in formal or semi-formal contexts, such as professional reports, academic discussions, or commemorative events. While it functions as both a noun and a verb, it carries a sense of looking back at a specific period or a body of work rather than just casually remembering something.
Examples
This retrospective exhibition is very thoughtfully done.

Common mistake
Avoid using it for simple daily reflection or casual reminiscing, as it sounds overly serious or academic in those settings. Use 諗返起 or 講返舊時 for everyday personal memories.
