Cantonese lesson

Started my first Cantonese lesson with Prof Sew this semester. Excited to learn and speak basic Cantonese this semester.

Cantonese word I learnt today:

Cantonese uses jyut ping
Cantonese Han yu Pin yin
DEI is to use for plural
Ngo dei Jay. Hou gou jging jing xik nei ( I am Jay, nice to meet you)
Ngo dei Jay. Ngo dei Hou Hou ( I am Jay, I am very good )

M4 Goi is Thank you.

M4 Goi Sai is Thank you very much
Do1 ze6, Thank you ( when receiving a gift, appreciative/formal)

Haa6 ci3, Next time

Haa6 ci3 gin, See you next time

Zoi3 gin3 Goodbye

Nei5 sik1m4 sik1 gong2 jing1 man2

You know or not English?

Dak man is Gernamn

Nei cai ju ngo gou dai. (You are stepping on my plastic bag)

m4 ho2 ji3 si1, ngo5 jau ci4 dou3 ( sorry i am late again )

deo3 m4 zyu6, ngo5 daa2 laan6 zo nei5 bou6 din6 nou6 ( Sorry, I broke our computer)

I often get confused with pronunciation with Mandarin,Hokkien and Cantonese. Today,I learnt to better pronounce more cantonese words!

Would be so much better if we had the opportunity to learn cantonese face to face instead of zoom.
