How it's used
Months in Cantonese are formed by simply placing a number before 月. Unlike English, there are no special names for months, making the system very logical and easy to learn once you know the numbers one through twelve.
Examples
I am going to Japan for a trip in June.
Do you have time to come out for a meal in June?
