How it's used

Focuses on the act of reciprocating kindness or resources to a community or group rather than a simple exchange of goods. It carries a formal or noble tone, often appearing in contexts related to corporate social responsibility or personal philanthropy. While it can mean feedback in a professional setting, it is more commonly used in Cantonese to describe altruistic contributions.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with feedback in the sense of comments or critiques, which is more commonly expressed as 意見 or 評價 in everyday speech. Using 回饋 to mean simple advice or criticism can sound overly formal or slightly awkward to native speakers.
