yue: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
eng: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
