詞綴
通常係單音節嘅動詞、形容詞嘅後綴，指示針對對象嘅過程未完成、未做晒，仲有缺漏，離終止仲有截距離；做形容詞後綴嗰陣，置於構成比較級嘅後綴「啲」之前；若然對象係名詞詞組，必須有量詞修飾 used after a verb or an adjective, often monosyllabic, to signify incompleteness of the process regarding the object; when placed after an adjective, it precedes the suffix 啲di1 ("a bit") which forms comparatives; when the object is a noun phrase, it must be modified with a classifier
