How it's used
When referring to a specific date, such as the eleventh of the month, Cantonese speakers often omit the month name if the context is clear. It functions as both a duration and a calendar date, so pay attention to whether the sentence structure implies a period of time or a specific point on the calendar.
Examples
I have been staying here for eleven days already.
