How it's used
While standard in written Chinese, this term often sounds slightly formal or stiff in casual spoken Cantonese. Native speakers frequently prefer using 會 or 準備喺 to express future intentions in daily conversation. It is most commonly encountered in news reports, formal announcements, or when discussing long term plans.
Examples
He is going to move house next month.
How are you going to handle this matter?

Common mistake
Avoid using this in very casual settings where it might make you sound like you are reading from a script or a formal document. For everyday speech, simply using 會 is usually more natural and idiomatic.
