Heheehehee.. i am actually learning how to write Cantonese (I am a Canadian born Chinese) via your videos! ❤ I love how I can learn colloquial words and finally know what they look like. Thanks!!
@@5minutecantonese Thanks, I live and was brought up in the UK so English has become my first language. Don't get much opportunity to speak/hear Cantonese in the real world so it's nice to watch your videos.
How can your YT channel is less than 10k ? Your good at teaching basic cantonese. I am here and it helps me a lot to learn from watching you. By the way your beautiful as well 😊
@@5minutecantonese but I still can't figure out that exact phrase in Cantonese, my listening skills are zero haha How does this translate to Cantonese, the phrase you said in the video? Thank you for your answer, your lessons are really helpful!
Great lesson Amanda👍 To be honest, the way you say yui3 is exactly like how we say “ew” in English. This is what you might say if you find a 3 week old, half eaten chicken leg, under a cushion on your settee 🤢 So it’s easy to remember, the Cantonese means the exact opposite of “I really don’t need this!”
Thank you for very interesting and helpful lessons. However I wonder to know about the other expression for " How much is this?" : 依個幾錢呀？Are these two expressions have different using situation?
yes, you are right. As jyutping sound different. The phonetic sound of g is [k], but it's still with g sound like gaa1 (Family) is similar to the sound as (lady gaga)
@@KhanhNguyen-vy8zs To be honest I don't know the official explanation to this. 😅 Because jyutping is different from English. Like in English, c and k sound K. sometimes they sound exactly the same. But g and k in cantonese are different. g [k] and k [kʰ]
Actually, it's just like a intonation. In English or many other languages, we can change the tone of voice. But Cantonese is a language with tones. We'll still raise a bit of the tone for a question. But sometimes changing the tone will change the whole meaning. That's why we have more intonation words like lei1 la1 aa3... to express our emotions. I hope this can give you a bit of idea.
This is specially for Chinese language. First of all, to make it simple, Pls refer to lesson 11, a "cup" of coffee, a "glass" of wine.... In English, only uncountable nouns have measure word. But in cantonese all nouns have a measure word. The most common one is "go3" 個, it's a important grammer in Chinese. Can also check lesson 32 for more usage.
I want Hong Kong local some good friends to exchange language to learn. Please help me, I'm living in Hong Kong since 5 years but can't speak Cantonese
哈囉。I'm gonna transcribe what went on at the market: 唔該啲橙幾錢呀 十蚊四個 你要幾個 我要六個 六個十五蚊 二十蚊 Is this correct, Amanda? 唔該 And why did you do a reverse here: 十蚊四個 and 六個十五蚊 and they still mean the same?
@@5minutecantonese i found that Cantonese use a lot of characters that are not used in Chinese, if it was because of the pronunciation why didnt they combine 金文 instead of 虫文, just wonder :)))
@@5minutecantonese hi genuine question. How can i determine what to use between m goi and do je when saying thank you. It's so confusing. Also ching maan and m hou ji si. They have the same meaning which is excuse me

Love your videos.
Thank you very much
Thanks Amanda! Much appreciated! 多謝你教咗我咁多嘢!
@@5minutecantonese I am a newbie but I try hard! :)
I still use English words to help memorise Cantonese words!
Don't worry! Once you get used to it, it will stick into your mind.
Hi 老师 Amanda I have a question. Is it 蚊 refer to hong kong dollar only？
I would say for all "dollars".E.g US dollar
Following all your very nice lessons, I thought I would be able to do something once landing in HK, but the speed! I'm unable to follow!
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thank you for very interesting and helpful lessons. However I wonder to know about the other expression for " How much is this?" : 依個幾錢呀？Are these two expressions have different using situation?
It's just similar to English. "how much?" and "how much is it?"
Basically it's similar😉
Hi Amanda. Thanks for your lesson. I am confused about how the pronoun "g" in Cantonese seems like "k" in English?
yes, you are right.
As jyutping sound different.
The phonetic sound of g is [k], but it's still with g sound like gaa1 (Family) is similar to the sound as (lady gaga)
@@5minutecantonese you mean Pronunciation is similar to /K/ but it is a voiced sound?
@@KhanhNguyen-vy8zs To be honest I don't know the official explanation to this. 😅 Because jyutping is different from English. Like in English, c and k sound K. sometimes they sound exactly the same. But g and k in cantonese are different. g [k] and k [kʰ]
Thank you, Teacher Amanda! -Mark from Hong Kong
ang galing nio naman Maam magturo ng cantonese
I'm not sure about the pronunciation of "我" yet. Is it something like "Oh" or is it "NO"？ thank you very much.
it's like English "all" with "n" sound in the beginning. Is that make sense to you? 😅😅

ang linaw po ng pagkaka pronounce mo Maam
幾錢呀 or 幾錢 both means “how much is it?” And “how much?” And another question why we need final particle like 呀, what is 呀 mean?

I wonder why Cantonese use the character for mosquitoe to express the meaning of HK dollar, it's so funny :)))
It's by the pronunciation. 😊
@@5minutecantonese i found that Cantonese use a lot of characters that are not used in Chinese, if it was because of the pronunciation why didnt they combine 金文 instead of 虫文, just wonder :)))
