How it's used
Geographic names in Cantonese often follow the same pronunciation patterns as Mandarin, but they are treated as standard nouns in sentences. When discussing countries, it is common to add 嘅 before the country name if you are describing something belonging to that place, or simply use it as a location marker with 喺.
Examples
He will go to Togo for a trip next month.
