  1. 量詞
    英文​ ​"​mile​"​ ​音譯​。​以前​英制​時期​以​ ​英里​做​單位​，​所以​喺​揸​車​嘅​時​候​會​用​「​咪​」​嚟​做車​速​嘅​量​詞​。​而​家​嘅​車​同​路牌​已經​改晒用​公里​做​單位​，​但​因為​習慣​咗​，​所以​大家​口頭​上​繼續​用​「​咪​」​嚟​形容​車速​。​而家​揸​車​嘅​人​所​講​嘅​「​咪​」​係​指​公里​。
    previously referred to a mile (1.609344 kilometers) but currently to kilometres per hour or kilometres on a milestone; it is a transliteration of "mile" in English; in the old days of the imperial system, miles were used as a unit, so when driving a car, 咪 mai1 was used as a unit of speed; this has since changed, with cars and road signs now using kilometres, however everyone continues to use 咪 mai1 out of habit
