QUOTE(lostasylum @ Jul 5 2012, 02:47 PM) So here's an idea i came up with recently while thinking of a way to improve my cantonese. I want to learn conversational cantonese, but I don't know how to read the chinese characters, and I want an avenue where I can ask people what a particular word or phrase means, hence this experiment: its "mou ku"People can ask for meanings or usage about a particular word / phrase in romanised and then all the sifu / veteran / terror merror canto speakers can give input. ------------------------------------------------------------- I'll start: I've always wanted to know what is the difference between the following words used: ke lian hor lin chai leong mo ku they all seem to mean "pitiful". how do i differentiate the use between these words? |
