How it's used
Native speakers almost exclusively use 邊個 instead of 哪個 in spoken Cantonese. 邊個 functions as both an interrogative pronoun for people and objects, effectively replacing the Mandarin distinction between 哪一個 and 誰. It is highly versatile and fits into almost any context where you need to identify a specific item or person from a group.

Common mistake
Learners often try to use 哪個 because it appears in written Chinese, but it sounds unnatural and overly formal in daily conversation. Always stick to 邊個 for spoken interactions to avoid sounding like you are reading from a textbook.
