How it's used

Geographical names in Cantonese often follow the same structure as in English, but speakers frequently add the classifier 個 before the country name when discussing it as a specific entity. It is common to hear people refer to the country simply by its name without any prefix, though adding 喺 before it is necessary when describing its location or where someone is currently staying.
