How it's used

Evokes a nostalgic and romantic atmosphere, often associated with dating in quieter, scenic spots like parks or beaches. It carries a slightly old-fashioned or poetic charm compared to modern dating activities. While literally describing exposure to moonlight, it functions as a set phrase for spending quality time together outdoors at night.

Examples

gam1今maan5晚tin1天hei3氣gam3咁hou2好，bat1不jyu4如heoi3去saai3晒jyut6月gwong1光laa1啦。

The weather is so nice tonight, why don't we go for a walk under the moonlight?

keoi5佢dei6哋loeng5兩go3個seng4成jat6日heoi3去hoi2海bin1邊saai3晒jyut6月gwong1光。

Common phrases

tung4同keoi5佢saai3晒jyut6月gwong1光

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with literally sunbathing, which uses the same character 晒 but refers to the sun. It is strictly used for moonlight and implies a romantic or leisurely context rather than just being outside at night.
