translations

Post by Diane »

I was watching a Cantonese report show on business and I had a few translations of words that came up on the show.

-Lái zí
-Gáan zík
-Fán wài
-Sí wài
-Gá Soéng (Serng)
-Jík sí / Jík sí kwài
-zí fúk
-zí mók/mùk

• zùng jì (zùng is like to plant/to spoil someone)
• zyùt jì (zyùt is like to rub)…I think this one means on purpose?

Thanks!
Terence
