How it's used

Focuses primarily on institutional or organizational settings like schools, clubs, or companies bringing in new members. It implies a formal process of selection or application rather than just casual gathering. While it sounds professional, it is perfectly acceptable in spoken Cantonese when discussing hiring or enrollment.

Common mistake

Avoid using this for casual social invitations or gathering friends, as it sounds too bureaucratic or official for personal relationships. Use 搵人 or 叫人 instead for casual contexts.
