How it's used

Geographic names of countries are treated as proper nouns and typically follow the same grammatical rules as other nouns. When discussing locations, it is common to use the verb 喺 to indicate existence or position within a place. Unlike some other nouns, country names do not usually take a measure word unless you are referring to a specific entity like a country or a nation state, in which case 個 or 嗰個 is used.
