How it's used
Focuses on the act of acting as an intermediary to ensure an item reaches its final recipient. It is more formal than simply saying 畀, as it highlights the relay process rather than the direct handover. It is frequently used in office settings or when dealing with official documents and packages.
Examples
Could you please pass this document to the manager for me?

Common mistake
Avoid using this for direct face-to-face handovers, as it implies a middleman is involved in the delivery chain. If you are handing something directly to someone, use 畀 instead.
