* Money terms
When we talk about the money terms in Cantonese, we have to apply the knowledge of number in order to express the price. The unit of “元” “jyun4” and “角” “hou4” (gok3”) have to be applied followed the number. For example,
$1 = “jat1 jyun4” or “jat1 man1”;10 cents = “jat1 hou4”; 20 cents = “loeng5 hou4” instead of “ji6 hou4”; $2 is “loeng5 man1” instead of “ji6 jyun4”. *The Cantonese for $1.5 is “go3 bun3” instead of “jat1 man1 ng5 hou4”
