1. 左 (zo2) "left"
我左邊有張櫈。 (ngo5 zo2 bin1 jau5 zoeng1 dang3.) "There is a chair on my left side."

我用右手寫字。 (ngo5 jung6 jau6 sau2 se2 zi6.) "I use my right hand to write."
3. 前面 (cin4 min6 ) is "front; at the front"
"The car in front is blue." 我前面架車係藍色嘅。 (ngo5 cin4 min6 gaa3 ce1 hai6 laam4 sik1 ge3.)
