How it's used
Dates in Cantonese are straightforward, simply placing the number before the word 月. Unlike some languages that use specific names for months, Cantonese relies entirely on this numerical system. It is common to add 份 after the month name when referring to a specific period, such as 十月份, to sound slightly more formal or emphatic.
Examples
Are there any holidays in October this year?
We are going on a trip in October.
