Hi, ????
\nToday, we are going to learn how to say what you plan to do (are going to do).
\n???? gam1yat3 geoi3jing3 <\/strong>
\nToday's sentence pattern:
\nI'm going to + verbs <\/strong> ( In English it really means \"I plan to do something.\" or \"I will do something.\")
\nso the Cantonese for that is:<\/p>\n

???+verb <\/strong> or
\na future time phrase + ????+ verb<\/strong>
\n? ngo5 = I\/me\/my
\n?? daa2syun3 = plan to
\n? wui2 = will\/able to ?do something).
\nPlease note that \"Chinese verbs do not conjugate like the verbs of most Indo-European languages such as English or Spanish. In English, for example, the verb 'to eat' has many forms compared to its Chinese equivalent: 'to eat' (infinitive), 'eat, eats' (present), 'ate', (simple past), 'eaten' (past participle), 'eating' (present participle), etc. Chinese only has one basic form, used for every person and tense\"( wikipedia )
\ne.g.
\n1) ngo5 daa2syun3 soeng5mong5 wan2 jat1 bou6 hou2ge3 daa2jan3gei1
\n ??????????????
\nI am going\/plan to find\/look for a good printer online.
\n???(?) daa2jan3gei1 = printer
\n?????? do1gung1nang4 daa2jan3gei1
\n??? do1gung1nang4 = multi function (similar to 3 or 4 in one or \"all in one\")
\n?? jat1 bou6 = one set\/unit
\n2)gam1maan5 ngo5 wui2 soeng5cyun4 nei5di1 dak1ji3 soeng2 dou3 ngo5 ge3 mong5zaam6.
\n????????????????? I am going to upload your cute photos to my web site.
\n??gam1maan5 = tonight
\n??soeng5cyun4 = upload
\n?? nei5di1 = your
\n?? dak1ji3 = cute \/ interesting
\n? soeng2 = photos
\n? dou3 = to
\n?? ngo5 ge3 = my
\n?? mong5zaam6 = web site<\/p>\n

3)ting1jat3 ngo5 wui2 gaau3 ngo5 po4po4 dim2joeng6 faat3 din6jau4
\n??????????????
\nTomorrow I am going to teach my grandma (on my mother's side) how to send email.
\n?? ting1jat3 = tomorrow ; ? gaau3 = teach\/taught
\n?? dim2joeng6 = how
\n? faat3=send ?? din6jau4 = email
\n?? kam4jat3 = last night
\nkam4jat3(??) ngo5 gaau3 ngo5 po4po4 dim2joeng6 faat3 din6jau4
