How it's used
Native speakers almost exclusively use 邊啲 instead of 哪些 in spoken Cantonese. 哪些 is considered a written or formal Mandarin-influenced term that sounds unnatural in daily conversation. Using 邊啲 makes your speech sound much more authentic and relaxed.

Common mistake
Avoid using 哪些 in casual speech because it sounds like you are reading from a textbook or translating directly from Mandarin. Stick to 邊啲 for all everyday contexts.
