How it's used
Dates in Cantonese are expressed by placing the number before the word 日. When referring to a specific date in a month, the month name always precedes the day. Unlike some other languages, there is no need for extra particles to link the month and the day.
Examples
My birthday is on the twenty-fifth of next month.
