[急用]有關利是....red pocket/packet ge含意...

Red packet = Lucky money 都是指利是
Red packet 一般都指裝有利是的紅封包，不須特別註明。

用 Red packet 時，要留意選用單數或複數，因為 packet 是一個 countable noun (可數名詞），例如:

He received a red packet from his granny. (單數)
How many red packets did you received during Chinese New Year? (複數)

用 lucky money 時，就永遠都是單數，因為 money 本身是 uncountable noun, 例如:

According to the customs of the Chinese, lucky money is given to children and those who are not married.

如果刻意地同時使用 red packet 及 lucky money，情況就可能有變

He's got a lot of lucky money this year. However, there are a few red packets that do not contain lucky money but coupons instead. Red packets with lucky money are not necessarily the norms today.

There is an oversight in one of the examples above:Should read ---> How many red packets did you receive during Chinese New Year?

Red Pocket Money

應該連埋錢
"give him a red packet"係ok ge=]

係red PACKET-紅包
另一個係POCKET money-零用錢

係應該
give him a red pocket

pocket not packet=)
