There are formal and informal Cantonese. Usually we have to use formal Cantonese in reading and writing, we use informal Cantonese only in dialogue, e.g., the formal Cantonese for “he” is “taa1” and “keoi5” in informal. Look at the table of pronoun below:

Formal Cantonese Informal Cantonese English
taa1
keoi5
He, she , it
taa1 mun4
keoi5 dei6
They
ngo5
ngo5
I
ngo5 mun4
ngo5 dei6
We
nei5
nei5
you
nei5 mun4
nei5 dei6
you

We can see that not all the Cantonese words have informal form (bold italics), sometimes, we use formal Cantonese in both speaking and writing.
