Hogzilla SG

Simi "gan ling yang"? You want to screw a mountain goat har? Simi "chao zhi bai"? Super wisdom white har? Vulgar language also got proper pronouncation one OK?

Regarding TS's question, no.

TS, trying to get a kopi from mata, a chit chat with judge, a free resort stay in Changi and some free cai png from the same resort har?

‘Refine Hokkien’ – isn’t that an oxymoron?

stooki SG

cantonese ish the best dialect to learn... coz will be useful if u go hongkong shopping or work...since hongkong is such a nice n prosperous place

den u can also enjoy those TVB drama VCD series....

Hogzilla SG

They share the same dialect group. But Chaozhou is in Guangdong province and most of the Hokkien lives in Fujian province.

I dare say that ALL humans belong to the same family tree, y are there discriminations?

So most of the daughter of Teochew and Cantonese will be a chio bu with big eye lah?

Must seek out a Cantonese chio bu as wife liao. Embarassed

Cantonese is somewhat easy to learn because it WAS the official dialect of China for a period of time. Dr Sun Yat Sen was a Hakka speaking Cantonese (I'm not sure of his dialect group, I'm sure that he's from Guangdong province). When the communist government was choosing the official dialect, Mandarin and Cantonese were two favourite candidate. Mandarin won eventually, thanks to the sheer number of population (a whopping 70%) speaking the dialect from the Mandarin language tree. I believe that Cantonese grammar structure somehow influenced modern day Mandarin.

Cantonese is the official dialect not only in HK, it's also the official dialect of the Chinese in North America and Europe.

Ya, I'm learning Cantonese from those TVB drama series. I tongbang my sister to get them cheap cheap in China. Razz

Like some phrases or idioms they use in their refine hokkien is what we learn in Mandarin. at first when I hear them speak, i was amazed hokkien can be refine, too. ON cable, I heard people especially when they talked in a former way their hokkien is refine (seems like translate from Mandarin), this way I understand Hokkien. Sometimes I find hokkien not easy to understand.

er . . . . . . er . . . . no offence for hokkien people, I don't mean any harm - lots of people feedback that lots of people use vulgar words in hokkien to scold people. ha , i am one of them who don't like to hear people scold hokkien vulgar words or any obscene . . . . , so yucks, ugly!!!!! aiyo, even non hokkien also scold hokkien vulgar words, that is no wonder people think that hokkien is full of vulgar words (actually not true).
