How it's used
Numbers in Cantonese follow a strict decimal structure where the tens digit is followed by the unit. Unlike English, there is no need for a hyphen between the tens and units. It is common to omit the unit one if the context is clear, but for sixty-six, both digits must be explicitly stated.
