My home-made video XDD, it’s a bit cracky…
Today will be learning how to say some useful words and phrases. Let’s start with some greetings.
In Cantonese, we won’t always (but sometimes) greet others with ‘Good morning’, or ‘Good afternoon’ except at school:
In the morning, we’ll usually say:
早晨 (joe-sun) means ‘Morning’ or ‘Good morning’
In the afternoon, we don’t usually greet. So we usually say the followings to be friendly.
食飯未呀 (sik-faan-may-ar) means did you had your lunch yet?
Or simply a 哈囉 (haa-low) like English
In the evening, we’ll say
有冇約人? (yaao-mo-yerk-yun) means did you have a date/meeting? (doesn’t mean that you want to date him/her)
番屋企未? (faan-uk-kay-may) are you planning to go/going home now?
Practise more and show off to your friends ^_^
