"mien fai"

How do you use the word "mien fai" (free).

Do you say "you mh you mien fai" to ask if something is free or do you say..." hai mh hai mien fai"?

hai mh hai mien fai"?

sound better.

You can contract that to

hai mai meen fai ga?

where ga is added for emphasising the question.

What about the word "bo sui" which I think deals with tax. (sui-tax)

It means to report to the inland revenue your monetary comings and goings. Bo means report, sui, means tax.

Fuk mou means "service" that a company gives to its customers. As for Biu yim, I'm not too sure.

Cheers,
