QUOTE(evilbun @ Apr 25 2016, 01:34 AM) Both. Haha. When you go out, you use Mandarin. When you chat with your peers/friends, you use Canto. Weird, why go out use mandarin but use canto with peers and friends instead.  |

QUOTE(evilbun @ Apr 25 2016, 01:42 PM) Haha. Mandarin is like the standard language you use when you first communicate with strangers. I see quite different from HK or even KL. KL Chinese often speak Cantonese even with strangers hmmCantonese is used when you know the other fellow you're speaking to speaks Cantonese, then you start using Canto too. Not sure if that makes sense  |
