How it's used
Used primarily in formal or professional contexts such as finance, economics, or data analysis. It refers specifically to the scale or percentage of a change rather than the act of increasing itself. When discussing casual growth, people prefer using phrases like 升咗幾多.
Examples
The salary increase this year is very small.
Do you think this margin of increase is reasonable?

limited margin of increase
Common mistake
Avoid using this word in casual conversation about personal growth or physical size, as it sounds overly technical and stiff. It is strictly for measurable, quantitative data.
