Yik1 waak6 -or

Post by menoi »

Is this the right tone for the word or "yik1 waak6" ?

Is it better to use "Yik1 waak6" or ding6 hai6 in this sentence

mo4 lun4 lei5 hui3 heong1 gong2 Yik1 waak6/ding6 hai6 Mei5 gwok3, nogh5 do1 tung4 lei5 hui3

???

In Hong Kong, people use both phrase in oral conversation but ding6 hai6 or simply ding6 are more common while jik1 waak6 is used in written only.
