Will ask more words later

it actually means dizzy and feverish

yes, and this normally refer to sick....

people will ask you got any tao wan sen hing or not, as actually asking do you sick?

sick means not feeling well, under the weather or generally unsure of your medical condition. i would say this in cantonese as 'mmm she fook'.

what the hell is ' do you sick' ?

you better talk more cantonese with different type of cantonese speaker.
there are many way to ask people weather they sick or not.

"tao wan sen hing" is normally used to ask people "do you sick" in a informal conversion.

in cantonese, Sick or Feeling unwell can use the word as below:-
1. ng sui fuk
2. fat bang
3. Bang jor
4. tar bai jeong
5. tao wen sen hing
6. etc

even ipoh and kl cantonese speaker will have different way to speaking it. Do not talk about those in HK and China.
This is the reason why cantonese so hard to learn and understand.

your spellings sounds weird..
you sure you are cantonese or you just dont know how to spell?

sorry, i do not know how to spell it.
my spelling suck in cantonese..
lol

maybe you can help me correct it.

Faai Lo is Tibi lah...lol

Bronchitis is just Zhi Hei Guun Yim 支气管炎

Arthritis is Guan Jit Yim 关节炎

Fung Sup Baeng is rheumatic

Arthritis is much more serious till you joint can become out of shape, rheumatic is more of pain only.
