How it's used

Geographical names in Cantonese are generally pronounced using Cantonese reading of the characters rather than Mandarin pinyin. While many people in Hong Kong are familiar with major cities like Beijing or Shanghai, lesser known provincial capitals like Hefei are often referred to by their standard Cantonese pronunciations. It is helpful to remember that the pronunciation of 合 here follows the standard reading for the city name, which differs from its common usage in words like 合適.
