QUOTE(Solar Calendar @ Apr 19 2020, 12:55 AM) I know HK follow Chinese script. Well... obviously. Their Cantonese words have direct a counterpart in Mandarin, like 你, is 'ni' in Mandarin and 'nei' in Cantonese. But our Cantonese, we say lei. Why are we so different? Another example: 的 Mandarin: De HK: Dik Local: Gei 对 Mandarin: Dui HK: Deoi Local: Ngam Only KL speak weird Canto. Sabah and Ipoh is quite similar with Hongkie. U know what's the difference between "doh che" and "em koi"? KL people dont even say doh che, lolz This post has been edited by kitzai: Apr 19 2020, 09:02 PM |

QUOTE(Meis @ Nov 4 2022, 07:48 AM) U should ignore the goddamn title of this thread. I have warned TS about it but he didn't listen. If u can understand the stuff in the vids that I posted, you are good with Standard Cantonese Chinese language. They are basically 99% the same thing and mutually intelligible. There is a vid about Taiwanese speaking Hokkien on the streets/shops in Fujian Province, PRC, and both of them can understand each other. Penang Hokkien, KL Hokkien, Taiwan Hokkien, Fujian Hokkien are mutually intelligible. Of course can haha |
