Examples

• 放暑假冇嘢做咪日日落機舖煲機囉。

  I've got nothing to do during the summer break, so I go to the game centre for a game marathon every day.

• 煲機要校返適當音量，播返合適嘅聲響，先會老化得宜，否則只會令器材受損。

  "Burn-in" requires playing suitable sounds at an appropriate volume for the best "maturing" effect. Otherwise the equipment will be damaged. ----
