Learn Cantonese - Yáuh tùhng Móuh

Hi everyone!
Here's a video on this sunny Sunday about how to use the yáuh tùhng móuh in a sentence.
I also weave in forming a question and the difference between the measure word "go" and the possessive "ge". And go over tone differences in family relationship names.
One thing I kinda touched on but didn't go into further that you might be wondering about (and that we'll also cover in a future lesson) is how to make "pàhng yáuh" plural ... well, instead of the "go" before it to mean "one" friend, you say "dī" to mean some or "hóu dò" meaning a lot or "baan" meaning a group.
Of course, making it plural doesn't fit with the sentence I had on the board (No, she is my friend.), but if you wanted to say "I have a lot of friends" it would be: Ngóh yáuh hóu dò pàhng yáuh."
Lots to learn and love about Cantonese ... as usual, if you have any comments or questions, leave them below and I'll do my best to answer them or find the answer for you. Also, please subscribe to my channel and like my videos. I appreciate your support! :)
Happy learning,
Sue Marguerite!

I loved this one! Learning certain sentences is amazing too, but as someone who is learning mostly through immersion it's great to have you explain basics in detail on the side. Thank you for your hard work!

Hi Miss Cherry! Thanks so much and you're so welcome! I'm so glad you found it useful ... it seems more natural to me to do it this way, too. :)

For younger brother, in addition to 弟弟, 細佬 sai3 lou2 can also be used, at least what I know. 🙂

There's lots of beginners videos online, but very few advance video. Can you do advance Cantonese?

[@JM-zw8cq]

Good morning! Question for you. When you say haih m haih fast it sounds like it runs together...sounds almost like a single syllable versus 2...should I try to get that down for speaking purposes?

[@killionaireunggoy3144]

Hi, Can I suggest teaching about the different names for the relatives in a Chinese family tree in a video?

[@CantoneseCorner]

That's a great idea! I'll add it to the list and do it just as soon as I can. Thanks for commenting! :)

[@SweKingdom]

Why is it "Yaúh. Ngóh yaúh yāt go"? should it not say "Haih. Ngóh yaúh yāt go"? As Yaúh means have, or does one say, "Have. I have one"?

[@HongKongEclectic]

When you reply to a question, you usually use the verb in a positive or negative way. For example, do you have = Yau Mouh….
If you have, say Yau
Don’t have, say Mouh.
(Rather than saying yes/no)
Remember, Haih, is itself a verb (to be)

Thank you Ms Sue Margarett its true I’m bit confused

[@CantoneseCorner]

Hi there Margarita! We share a similar name :)
I hope watching more of the videos will lessen the confusion. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know!

[@margsmaxion]

Hello Ms Margarett how do you pronounce the Nigo “L” “N” Also the Neigh N or L

[@CantoneseCorner]

HI Margarita! Why the "N" and "L" are mixed up in Cantonese is a mystery, but it is true that although the "proper" way to say these words is with the "n" as in "néih" and "nī go" ... 99.9% of people will pronounce it as "léih" and "lī go".
I like to stay true to the original sound and phoenetic spelling, though, and so I write it with the "n" but pronounce it as the "l" sound! Sorry for the confusion and hope that clears it up!

[@Obscurai]

All the talk about relative pronouns reminds me of the Cantonese tongue twister "That older brother is taller than that older brother"

[@CantoneseCorner]

I remember hearing (and reciting) this a long time ago! I definitely want to add it to the list of videos I wanna do -- this is what it would be in Yale, right? Gó go gòh gō gōu gwo gó go gòh gō (correct me if I'm wrong - it's been a long time) ... it's so much fun to say and is great tone practice! :)
