How it's used

This phrase functions as a possessive or attributive construction, effectively acting as an adjective to modify a following noun. It is common to drop the 嘅 when the context is clear, but keeping it emphasizes the contrast with the current item. It is frequently used when discussing sequential items like versions, files, or people in a queue.

Common mistake

Learners often forget that 嘅 is necessary to link the preceding noun phrase to the following noun, as simply saying 上一個紀錄 can sound like a compound noun rather than a specific possessive reference.
