I think.. if you’d laugh at these, then you’re very likely are not confident enough to actually use these hahaha. Each of these, you gotta say it like you’re ready to kill someone lol
I'm a Native Cantonese speaker raised in mostly the United States and other places. I already knew all these from my own mom and dad. This video simply clarified what I was already inferred or suspected, in regards to the meanings. My dad said a lot of those words when he was driving.
To those learning from the jyutping system: This guy has named the tones a little differently. What you call 4(lowest tone), this guy calls 6; what you call 5(low rising tone), this guy calls 4; what you call 6(low flat tone), this guy calls 5. Thanks for the video btw, learnt a lot ^^
I speak Cantonese, I don't know Cantonese swears because I'm a good boy... until now... lol. And what's the song at the beginning? My dad always listens to the actual version of that.
Your dad actually means "mother of the family" or "mother of the kids" when he calls your mom "lo4 mo2" 老母. But lo mo is actually not a very polite way to say "mother". Most people would say "ma1 mi6" 媽咪 or ma6 ma1 媽媽, instead. 老 means old, 母 is a very old way to say mother. But in Cantonese since the term "老母" is often abused by people when they curse, it becomes a not very polite term. When standing alone, "母" is very polite which is pronounced as mo4, not mo2.
ok thank you :) you speak cantonese very well, i just wanted to see what my parents were saying to eachother i didnt think it would be this impolite thank you good work
I am so happy I found ths. Thank you very much. This is one of the best videos for Cantonese pronounciation I have seen on YT. I tried to use your website but it is not available. Do you have a new one?
As a former MI guy whose taken some courses at the Defense Language Institute, I say one of the priorities of learning any language in the military by the soldiers was a list of good cuss words. My favorite Cantonese phrase I'll always say to my Chinese mother in law when it's pouring rain outside, "lok gau-si'...which means 'It's raining dog-shit'...she always laughs with that.
LoL Cantonese swears all the time, unless you are in a formal situation. Also, we find foreigners trying to speak Cantonese adorable, especially when they start swearing. So do it ! Diu Lay No Mode!
Thanks, this was super helpful for understanding how regional dialect effects the tonal pronunciation and Character calligraphy change between location. Almost like English slang can all use the same language system but have slang that is hardwired into local dialect. (My channel name "Box Material " is Scots slang for an adjective of something that's "Very abysmal or annoying/ Frustrating".)
Some people say that Mandarin sounds more professional then Cantonese which is completely false, I'm not saying mandarin is not professional I love both languages
NO. I order the six tones so as to preserve their relative pitch ranking. Other tone ordering are "WRONG". "ALL" linguists do not understanding the relative pitches of the six tones in Cantonese. They wrongly believe that Cantonese is nothing more than a variant of Mandarin, when in fact, Cantonese is a language that relies heavily on relative pitches, not only tonal changes. Mandarin, on the other hand, relies heavily on tonal changes within a single word and not much on relative pitches.
Lol, I always thought that meant to poke a chicken. But then it’s used like the way u fall over and trip. Now the value of that swear has diminished for me.
Hi guy, very interesting, but some of the word is curse word. eg. like去仆街 【One word Two meaning】 1. 去仆街 is curse your friend to trip over on the street, 2. Originated come from [ Poor Guy仆街 ] it has complely different meaningg
Those you mention are not all foul language, just rude. This video is inaccurate, as I am a Hong Konger, if you are interested in this topic, you can text me.
The average pitch of 2 is higher than that of 4. In fact, if you follow my Romanization scheme, Tone 1 through 6 are in the right pitch ordering, with tone 1 having the highest pitch and tone 6 having the lowest pitch. If you follow any other romanization scheme, you end up being unable to obtain the right pitch ordering for the six Cantonese tones.
How this guy taught these words without laughing is incredible.
professionalism
Ikr
When you say more than enough it just turns into a chore to teach others lol
I agree..I had tears coming out of my eyes !!! 😂 I love it 👍👍👍
I think.. if you’d laugh at these, then you’re very likely are not confident enough to actually use these hahaha.

I speak Cantonese, I don't know Cantonese swears because I'm a good boy... until now... lol. And what's the song at the beginning? My dad always listens to the actual version of that.
The song is 鬼馬雙星 by 許冠傑 (Sam Hui) :)

Haha
I didn't know 鬼八婆is a swear word until now but my mother called me that when I was like 3 XD

This was the lesson in cantonese that i hoped my parents would give me as a kid ("Don't say that!!!") but never did. Thank you internet.
Thanks, this was super helpful for understanding how regional dialect effects the tonal pronunciation and Character calligraphy change between location.
Almost like English slang can all use the same language system but have slang that is hardwired into local dialect.

I can speak Chinese and Cantonese so I have no idea how this dude did not crack up at least once while filming this video.
All those tones! *head explodes*
One of the best language lessons i've come across.
I love saying diu lei lo mo!!

What's the class called, Cantonese Cursing 101?
Could you make a video on how to tell tone2/tone5 and tone3/tone5? Thank you so much!
"PUK KAI" deserves more explanation since it is used for everything and anything bad.
Lol, I always thought that meant to poke a chicken. But then it’s used like the way u fall over and trip. Now the value of that swear has diminished for me.

Hum gar charn - omg 😲 I speak cantonese and this is mint 👌
About to tell my friends this js how you order food in cantonese
what's the different between 2 and 4? The tones sound exactly the same.
The average pitch of 2 is higher than that of 4. In fact, if you follow my Romanization scheme, Tone 1 through 6 are in the right pitch ordering, with tone 1 having the highest pitch and tone 6 having the lowest pitch. If you follow any other romanization scheme, you end up being unable to obtain the right pitch ordering for the six Cantonese tones.
i died when he said insert penis... LMAO
I was watching cantonese teaching video then i clicked in this HAHAHHA SO FUCKING FUNNY
