OKay, continuing with the lessons..haha.. =D As stated in this web: www.wikihow.com/Learn-to-Speak-Cantonese-by-Listening-to-SongsIt states u can learn cantonese by listening songs! You know MDWAV has a lot of soundtracks? maybe those will help in ur improvement in cantonese!! =D TIP: Like Mandarin, Cantonese is a tonal language. So if you miss the intonation by a bit, it can mean a different word altogether, giving you different meaning altogether, so get the intoniation right. But that also mean that people that speaks in Mandarin & Cantonese have problem reading sarcasm. |

More information... šIŽgšIŠY roughly means "you don't have to say thank you", it is sometimes shortened to just šIŽg šIŽg‹qŸ† roughly means "don't be so grateful" Character Analysis Ž¸ = mistake, lose, fail (very similar to –î 'arrow') Œh = respect, honour, esteem Žg = use, make, act ŠY = should; need to; obliged to; owe —p = use, need ‹q = guest, customer, stranger ›” = correct, proper, ascertain Z = dwell, reside Credits go to: www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/conversation1.htm |
