Why does nobody just give a translation?

Ngo Ho Ngooi Neih! Ngo=I Ho=very Ngooi=love Neeih=you

Must people learn from this ghost?

I need help translating a word. It's supposed to be something gross so I apologize but what does "cheechongphat" mean? Help!

Thanks!

I guess you didn't read what the person wrote in the first post. "Not in the man loves a woman way."

So, no, that isn't really how you'd say that. /ngoh/ ngoi /neih/ would probably be romantic love, although there are some exceptions.
Note the Cantonese pronounciation for "I" is not "wall" but "all".
Actiually, it's neither. I was only referring to the vowel sound. It's the vowel sound in wall not wore.

That goes for both Cantonese /ngoh/ and Mandarin wo3.

Hi Michael,

You still explain what love (not in a man love a woman kinda way) is...

I proposed sek, as in adore. There is jung yi, which is to like something or someone. But what is it when a man loves a man, or some other bestial relationship?

Curiously,

Dyl...

How do you say : 1. bamboo in Cantonese (What is the approximate English equivalent in sound and what tone is it?)

2. potential energy in Cantonese (the kind we learn in Physics class)
