Learn Cantonese with Fun (1)
May 19th, 2009
Learning Cantonese can be lots of fun and romance.
When I saw this video on Youtube, I can’t help thinking of putting it here to share with you and teach you how to propose to a girl like Jacky Cheung,
At 0:26, he said, “求求你“ means “I’m begging you.” Now you know to beg/ask/request someone to marry you in Cantonese.
At 0:29, he said, “请姑娘你听埋佢我呢句” = Please, young girl, you listen to me to finish this sentence (Please let me finish my sentence.)
Note that the subtitle in the video is Mandarin translation, not Cantonese. That’s why there’s difference.
At 0:50 “字其实只得三个” = the words are only three characters
1:00 我爱你 = I love you! Note: 妳 = 你 nei2, but it is used for female.
Enjoy！

10.李太，多谢你的邀请。Mrs. Lee,thank you for your invitation.

In Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin), we tend to address people by their titles such as Manager, Director, Teacher, etc. to show respects.

Cantonese Idiom:Knock on wood
May 5th, 2009
Some of our fans ask us to pronounce some idioms from http://www.cantonese.ca/idioms.php
1. 大吉利是 knock on wood (knock the wood). It actually means saying something not quite appropriate at that time so bad luck would come if what is being would come true.
2. 对牛弹琴 play the music to the cow, who cannot understand. Talk to the wrong person.
3. 送羊入虎口 send the sheep to the tiger mouth (feed the tiger with your sheep… to sacrifice, waste)
4. 讲就天下无敌， 做就无能为力 talk like a hero, act like a coward or useless person. Only lip service.
Just go to MDBG.net for the detailed pronunciation and word by word definitions
