How it's used
Originating from Taiwanese internet slang, this term has become standard vocabulary for social media users in Hong Kong. It specifically refers to sharing content from another source, often implying a copy and paste action rather than just a simple share button click. It carries a slightly more formal or technical nuance compared to the more common term 分享.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 轉貼, which is also widely used for reposting. While 轉文 focuses on the content itself, 轉貼 emphasizes the act of pasting the link or text into a new thread or platform.
