    半個月前 😄
    But I honestly wasn't sure about the quantifier (I feel a bit unsure where to use an attributive 嘅 and so I see any noun as a normal noun with a possible quantifier, and where the grammar itself allows for a more straightforward structure, but still demands the quantifier), I checked the comments and found the answer, thank you 🙏
    I guess one can also say 上半個月? ☺️
    Also thank you for the tip about the calendar, I now use it all the time 🙏

      "半個月前" is correct and it is commonly used when referring to half a month ago. We don't say "上半個月". :)
      I'm glad it has been useful :)

    Nice!!! No one has this kind of video, great work and thank you soo much!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏Q. If I wanted to say, 'in the last 3 weeks, every week I have...' is it the same as saying 'seong go sam go lai bai'?

      Thanks for your constant support. To answer your question, it'd be "喺過去嗰三個禮拜入面,我每個禮拜都有⋯⋯" (hai2 gwo3 heoi3 go2 saam1 go3 lai5 baai3 jap6 min6, ngo5 mui5 go3 lai5 baai3 dou1 jau5...) "過去" means the past. If you want to say " three weeks ago", you can say "三個禮拜前" or "上三個禮拜". You are good at applying learning into a new context, keep it up. :)

      Well done! Just to remember that we need a measure word (quantifier) "個" (go3) for weeks and months, so we can say "半個月前". Good job! Keep up your good work! :)
