How it's used
Geographic terms like this are often used with the particle 嗰邊 to sound more natural in casual conversation. While it is a standard directional term, it is rarely used in daily speech unless discussing specific regional weather or travel plans. In most casual contexts, people simply refer to specific districts or areas by name rather than using cardinal directions.
Examples
He lives in the north-eastern part of Hong Kong.
The weather is very cold over in the north-eastern part.
