How it's used
This term is primarily used in formal or written contexts, such as signs or official announcements. In everyday spoken Cantonese, people typically prefer using 入去 or 入嚟 instead of this formal verb. It is also used metaphorically to describe entering a specific state, such as entering a deep sleep or a focused mindset.
Examples

Common mistake
Learners often use this in casual conversation where it sounds overly stiff or robotic. Use 入去 when you mean physically walking into a room or building.
