How it's used
Focuses on a deliberate or habitual action that targets a specific person, place, or thing to the exclusion of others. It often carries a slightly critical tone when describing someone who persistently does something annoying, like interrupting or picking fights. While it functions similarly to 淨係, it emphasizes the intentional nature of the choice rather than just the limitation.
Examples
Why do you only interrupt me when I am speaking?
Related words
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the adjective 專心, which means focused or attentive. When used as an adverb, it must precede the verb or the action being singled out.
