Post by matt »

hello i was wondering how do i say these few things in cantonese (and how to write it w/ characters):
1. nail clipper
2. cabinet

I was wondering if Cantonese had "question words" such as what/where/why/when/how that are used as adverbs like in English and Spanish...such as dónde versus donde in Spanish where "dónde" is the question word for "Where?" and "donde" is used as "where" as an adverb as in a sentence "i was born where those two roads meet"? If so let me know what these words as adverbs are and how they might be used in Cantonese sentences.
Thank you
Terence
