How it's used
This phrase functions as a locative adverbial, combining the preposition 喺 with the demonstrative 嗰度. It is the standard way to point out a location that is distant from both the speaker and the listener. Unlike the Mandarin equivalent, it is almost always used with the preposition 喺 to clearly mark the location.

Common mistake
Learners often mistakenly use 喺嗰邊 to mean over there, but 嗰邊 specifically refers to a direction or a general side rather than a precise spot. Use 喺嗰度 when you want to indicate a specific location.
