How it's used

This term functions as a formal bridge between a specific observation and a broader conclusion. It is frequently used in analytical or argumentative contexts to signal that a small detail serves as sufficient evidence for a larger claim. While it appears in spoken Cantonese, it carries a slightly literary or intellectual weight compared to more casual expressions.

Common phrases

zuk1足gin3見jat1一baan1斑

to see a glimpse of the whole from a small part

Common mistake

Learners often mistakenly use this as a direct translation for 'enough' or 'sufficient' in a quantitative sense, such as 'I have enough money'. It is strictly used for logical deduction where a fact serves as evidence for a conclusion, not for describing physical quantities.
