How it's used
Pronunciation often shifts to go2-dou6 or even go2-dou2 in rapid speech. It functions as a demonstrative pronoun for locations, contrasting directly with 呢度 for here. When pointing to a specific place that is not immediately visible or is abstract, it still serves as the primary way to refer to that location.
Examples
Is it okay if you put your things over there?

Common mistake
Beginners often confuse 嗰度 with 嗰個, which refers to a specific person or object rather than a location. Ensure you use the location-specific suffix 度 when indicating where something is located.
