How it's used
Dates in Cantonese follow the structure of number plus 日. When referring to the final day of a month with thirty-one days, it is common to simply say 三十一號 instead of 三十一日 in casual speech, though both are perfectly acceptable.
Examples
This month has thirty-one days in total.
Is your birthday on the thirty-first?
