My first entry in Cantonese!! Hello, I am writing this from the words I know in Jyutpin so the characters may be a little off, apologies!It is my first one. 我係Lew。我澳州嚟嘅,重有讀書喺香港城市大學,係留學生。我鍾意廣東話,冇得頂!我識計同點菜但係講人民難。香港人講太快啦。我讀機械工程同商。我個目的係十二月講吓講吓五分。 I hope at least most of that made sense

Cantonese help - Glossika words

Hello!! or more like 點呀?

I am currently living in HK for a semster abroad and purchased the glossika Cantonese mass sentence thing. Anyway in some sentences I have noticed they say 喺度 for example:

Barbara 係度睇緊報紙 -   Barbara is reading a newspaper

我係度做緊嘢. 我唔係睇緊電視 - I'm working. I'm not watching TV.

個電話係度響 - The phone is ringing

So you use it when something is happening at that exact moment, but then sometimes you don't have to use it? Like in:

我哋食緊晚飯 - We're having dinner.

佢哋喺 公  園 度玩緊 - They're playing in the park.

Little confused as to how 喺度 is used and when. Because my dictionary is translating it as meaning here but I am confused.

Any help would be much appreciated.
