How it's used

This term is almost exclusively used as a prefix to form compound nouns rather than standing alone as a noun. It functions to divide a process, a physical object, or a period of time into two distinct segments. When referring to time or events, it is frequently paired with specific nouns like 場 or 部分 to clarify the context.

Examples

le1呢tou3套hei3戲haa6下bun3半coeng4場hou2好mun6悶aa4呀。

nei5你tai2睇jyun4完haa6下bun3半bou6部fan6分mei6未aa4呀？

Common mistake

Learners often try to use it as a standalone noun to mean the second part of something, but it requires a noun suffix to sound natural. Always attach it to a noun like 場, 部分, or 身 to complete the meaning.
