How it's used
Focuses on the state of something remaining after a process or period of time, such as money after spending or food after a meal. It carries a slightly more casual, process-oriented feel than simply using 剩. It is frequently used when discussing resources that have survived an event or an expenditure.
Examples
There are still some leftovers in the fridge, let's finish them tonight.
Related words
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 剩低, which is also common but often implies a more static state of what is left behind. 剩落 specifically emphasizes the result of a preceding action or passage of time.
