QUOTE(Kampung2005 @ Jan 1 2011, 12:02 AM) We call it "hor fun", not "kuay teow" as in KL. But the hor fun in hong kong is different from malaysia so to not gte confused we just call it guai tiew"Kuay teow" is not Cantonese.  |

QUOTE(t3arsCulprit @ Nov 29 2012, 11:43 AM) Bungkus in Cantonese or Mandarin is not Da Pao.. Bungkus in cantonese should be Ngoi Dai 外带 or Correct 1 is Ngoi Mai or Wai Mai in Mandarin.. Da Pao is packing/managing the dead body I guess.. XD Hong Kong people call it Dai Zau 带走。 If you say Da Pao in Hong Kong, they curse you like hell cos it means bungkus dead body.

QUOTE(bb100 @ Nov 29 2012, 10:27 AM) Racial proximity??? Dai lou, you trollin??? Of course not. Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baiyue The Cantonese and Hokkien people are more related with Vietnamese. Therefore, cantonese language sound very Viet-sounding. Mandarin on the other hand is a beautiful language with real touch of literature standard level. |

QUOTE(replicator @ Nov 29 2012, 11:36 AM) I want to learn Chinese language. Which one should I go for? Both?Actually u should start mandarin first then cantonese if you are not native speaker of cantonese.Written cantonese is hardly taught in Malaysia and usually just follows the standart chinese form.Cantonese or Mandarin? So jelly when seeing Indian also can speak Chinese. I was like  IMHO Cantonese outside of hong kong is almost exclusively spoken only.Once you master mandarin it shouldn't be too hard learn a bit of written cantonese(which is almost the same as standard chinese with quite a few extra words). |

QUOTE(Meis @ Nov 29 2012, 02:38 PM) Mandarin = commie, no freedom Is this some kind of lousy joke? Cantonese is widely spoken in the Guang Dong area of China, and the people there supported CCP deeply. In fact, chairman Mao was from Hunan, southern China. Cantonese = FOR FREEDOM & DEMOCRACY!!! & they like Dr. Sun Yat-sen (founder of Taiwan) now you know why Southern China like HK love Cantonese Language has nothing to do with political affiliation. It's a fact that Cantonese and Hokkien sound like Vietnamese while Mandarin that the northerners speak is more beautiful. Mandarin language was influenced by the Manchu language due to Manchu Qing dynasty. |
