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? Our cantonese more pure theirs already influenced by China |
