How it's used
Functions primarily as an adverb to emphasize the certainty or degree of an action or state. It carries a formal weight that often contrasts with the more casual, spoken tone of everyday Cantonese, making it sound slightly more emphatic or serious than common intensifiers like 好 or 真係.
Examples
This matter is absolutely not as simple as you think.
You absolutely must listen clearly to what he says.

Common mistake
Learners often overuse it in casual speech where a simpler adverb like 真係 or 肯定 would sound more natural. It is best reserved for situations requiring strong emphasis or a definitive stance.
