➔ Here, “想” (xiǎng) expresses a desire, and “可” (kě) softens the tone, indicating a hope or possibility. The structure implies a wish to "be able to" see the person again. So, "好想可再跟你見一面" translates to "I really want to be able to see you again."

你哋一個二個喺度做乜嘢呀?
➔ Informal Cantonese question structure: Subject + quantity (one by one) + 喺度 (hái dou) + Verb + Question particle
