How it's used

Kinship terms in Cantonese are highly specific and strictly hierarchical. While English uses the prefix great- to denote generations beyond grandparents, Cantonese uses distinct characters like 曾 for the third generation down. This term is primarily used in formal introductions or when discussing family lineage, as casual conversation often simplifies these relationships.
