Usage notes[edit]
- As Macanese spelling is not standardized, both spellings logo and lôgo are in use.
- The clipped form lô is only used as the time particle, and not the adverb meaning "soon".
- Future tense (or any other tense) may not necessarily be marked using lôgo; verb tense is present by default but may have to be inferred through context, a feature possibly influenced by Cantonese grammar. Future tense in particular may be indicated using amanhâm or similar time words indicating the future.
