Some Cantonese slang terms sound like English words that have colourful, lively effects. Luisa Tam shows you how to use some of these phrases, including kick lick quak laak to describe “whatever” or luck kuck which means “not speaking fluently”.

The way she says the words are Satisfying
Instead of "luck kuck", more accurately we used "luck luck kuck kuck". Instead of "gi li gwaa laa", we used "gi li gu ru" for noisy. Instead of "he he her her", we used "la la sang" for hurry up. The rest are similar with us. I'm a Cantonese from Malaysia.
Max DC I prefer “la la lam”
@@revboyx Yes, we also used "la la lam" interchangeably.
I use "sok sok seang" for quick fast and in a hurry.
Believe it or not, cantonese characters exist for these slangs. For example, liu lang > 𠮩𠹌 and luck kuck > 㪐㩿. Very ancient characters though. Most native HK people in this generation don't even know.
couldn't find another more suitable than Luisa Tam to explain.😂👍
This is wonderful!😊 Thank you for the lesson!👏👏👏
My mother uses these a lot but not so much with young ppl, so I guess dated is the right word haha
Same! Although I think even my mum is growing out of them as I've not heard them for a while 😆
Brilliant! I love this. So practical and fun. More please!
Should have used them in examples in Cantonese.
Very useful, thanks.
i was expecting "likey" to be inside..haha
I use "gi gi ger ger" to describe the sounds of my husband's snoring. The gi gi is the inhale sounds and the ger ger is the exhale sounds. Also, "ki li ka lang" to describe a whole bunch of misc. stuff that makes noises such as a strand of metal measuring cups. Imagine picking up the whole set on a ring and they're banging on itself. Or a windchime when it's moving.
This video doesn't have much comments because it wasn't recommended to people.
Change my mind.
This is nice, but please don't tell me that karen is going to be using these slangs in asian restaurants👁️👄👁️
*Ha! ha! And it’s klick klack!*
Are these phrase allow to use in Guangdong province?
Yohan I’ve been to Guangzhou and know Cantonese as well as English. I’ll say that you shouldn’t speak it in public but just people you know since the Chinese government is trying to make China all mandarin speakers and discourage speaking Cantonese. You’ll see today that many of China’s youth speak mandarin in public.
LYFE liar
LYFE I know that they are just trying officially.
But in Real life between Guangdong province no one using mandarin generally.
Yohan I mean I’m just saying what I’ve experienced. I grown up in Guangzhou and went to America when I was 6. So I don’t really know mandarin anymore but I’ve visited twice so far, the latest one last summer. And I had trouble communicating in public, especially through borders and customs.
Ke Le Fe = care free
I use ke le fe ALOT haha
😁
OK
Do you like pineapple ?
Would've like to have known that one, but that time has passed :(

Little reference to Chungking Express. Great hk movie :)
Hiii
ME DO BE WATCHING THIS BE LIKE:
👁👄👁
Am I first
Mandarin is best
Nope. 😒
No
Nooope. And this comes from someone who speaks Mandarin and no Canto
This is the worst explaination ever
It is “EXPLANATION” rather than “explaination”. I sure hope your Cantonese is better than your command of English and punctuation.
Worst or not, she explained it. Take it or leave it. It's how it's used in the language, like it or not.
