- how many; how much; an interrogative pronoun; it can only be followed by a single-character noun or measure word, but it can be preceded by the ordinal prefixes 第 dai6 and 初 co1; this is unlike its longer counterpart 幾多 gei2 do1, which can represent a group of atomic and base numbers in a numeric sequence, and which cannot be preceded by the aforementioned ordinal prefixes
粵語
- 細過十嘅正數;一般代指 3 至 9,因為「無三不成幾」呢個講法幾普及
- 疑問代詞,用嚟問咩時間、時間長度,或者形容詞、副詞程度
- 修飾程度,即係一般,有啲;唔算好好/好多,又唔算好差/好少
- 疑問代詞,用嚟提問數量,或者表示未明嘅數量;後面只可以接單字名詞或者量詞;雖然係「幾多」嘅縮略,不過「幾」可以配序數前綴「第」、「初」,「幾多」就唔得;喺一串序數之中,「幾」通常代表一個數位,同樣係單音節,唔似得「幾多」能夠代表基位數組合
