代詞
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 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

加以进了几回城，阿Q自然更自负，然而他又很鄙薄城里人，譬如用三尺三寸宽的木板做成的凳子，未庄人叫“长凳”，他也叫“长凳”，城里人却叫“条凳”，他想：这是错的，可笑！

For instance, a bench made of a wooden plank three feet by three inches the Weichuang villagers called a "long bench." Ah Q called it a "long bench" too; but the townspeople called it a "straight bench," and he thought, "This is wrong. How ridiculous!"
