Hi Confused,
This phrase is really foul language!!Suggest you put an e-mail address so people can send you a translation, much better than airing such things liable to offend on this forum.
Regards.

You should go kick his ass.
Apparently, some people here can already figure
it out and are offended, so you're better off
knowing what it means:
diu nei go chau hai = f--- your stinking c---

Dear Anonym,
See some of my other postings. This still doesn't answer the question as to whether diu & hai have characters or are merely spoken in Cantonese.

: Are there characters for the words diu & hai or are they just spoken?
Yes, there are characters for diu and hai.
1) There are actually three possible ways to write
diu 'to f---'. The one used in Cantonese is 門
with a 小 inside it. However, diu 'to f---' is
simply the verb form of diu 屌 'penis', so one could
also use 屌 for the verb. Furthermore, 鳥 used
to be read *diu for 'bird', but because of taboo,
it was changed to niu. However, not only is there
a connection between birds and sex, but 鳥 is used
as a graphic euphemism for diu 屌 'penis', so
conceivably one could also write the verb with 鳥.
2) As for hai 'c---', there's just the character
used in Cantonese, 門 with a 西 inside it.
