QUOTE(ykhong @ Jul 9 2012, 03:56 PM) Eccentric, meant treat good to your girlfriends and treat bad to your wife.. and your wife is jelly n scold you phin sum sounds like what you're describing is favouritism is it? like your colleague mess up, your boss don't scold. you do small mistake, your boss scold you kao kao.... then you'll say your boss is phin sum. correct? |

QUOTE(Zentaro @ Jul 10 2012, 10:03 PM) this 2 terms usually wrongly used by kl traders.'mm koi' shud be used when someone helped you to do something i.e a thank to a service. 'toh jeh' is to be used when someone give/donate u something i.e. saying thank you to a customer or donater. |

QUOTE(J'Daniel @ Jul 11 2012, 09:09 PM) Yes, some Cantonese are very rude. They see girls as "object" that can be trade hence "foh" which mean goods. Cantonese also like to refer to men as dogs as in "nam yan lou gau". Some Cantonese father refer to their son as puppy as in "huen yi". "Huen" is another word for dog and "yi" is son. |
