How it's used

This phrase is the standard way to ask about possession in spoken Cantonese. It combines the interrogative 邊個 with the possessive particle 嘅. When the noun being possessed is clear from context, you can drop the noun entirely and just use 邊個嘅 at the end of the sentence.

Common phrases

ni1呢go3個hai6係bin1邊go3個ge3嘅

Whose is this one

Common mistake

Learners often confuse 邊個嘅 with 邊個, which simply means who. Remember that the addition of 嘅 is essential to indicate ownership, similar to adding an apostrophe s in English.
