How it's used

Refers specifically to the trip taken by newlyweds, rather than the entire period of early marriage. While the character 渡 is standard, many locals use 度 interchangeably in writing, though 渡 is more formal and historically accurate for crossing over into a new phase of life.

Common phrases

heoi3去dou6渡mat6蜜jyut6月

go on a honeymoon

Common mistake

Avoid using this as a noun to describe the honeymoon period itself, as it functions strictly as a verb phrase in Cantonese. If you want to refer to the honeymoon as a noun, you must add a classifier or rephrase the sentence to focus on the action of traveling.
