粵

之zi1餘jyu4

simp之余
zi1 jyu4zhī yú

English

  1. other than
  2. besides; aside from; apart from; used after the preceding clause instead of in front; unlike 之外 zi1 ngoi6, it is not used with 除咗 ceoi4 zo2

粵語 — Cantonese

  1. 用喺前面子句嘅尾,表示唔限於上述,仲有下述;唔似得「之外」可以同「除咗」連用

Examples

  • 做適量運動可以強身健體之餘,又可以消除疲勞。

    Exercising the right amount, aside from strengthening our bodies, can also eliminate fatigue.
