how to say 'think' and 'sick'

[matt]

How do you say 'to get sick' because i know 'serng foong' is to catch a cold. and to think... how would you put sick + think together, such as "i think i'm getting sick" or in other words, "i think i'm catching a sickness"

[Terence]

想病, 作病, uncomfortable feeling makes you think you are getting sick

Hey, you wanted to know how to say getting sick in cantonese?
here's some example, hope it might help you out.

"ngo lum ngo yau ban" is mean I think I am sick.

"nog lum ngo yau" +

"Fa Shao" fever.
"Seung Feng" running nose
"Gam Mo" catch a cold
"To Tung" stomachache
"Tau Tung" headache

"ngo lum nog fa shao" I think I am having fever.

If you wish to say "I think I am having fever", then it should be
"Ngo Lum Ngo Yau FAT SIU"
>> "Fa Shao" is more in mandarin, not cantonese.

although you are very close to the real pronounciaton and I appreciate your help for others but,

to have a fever is to say:

"Ngo Lum Ngo Yau fart siu"...

this pronounciation ^ is better because westerners will pronounce "FAT" if they use your sugestion.

and saying "fart" is closer to the pronounciation.

searng oww, searng oww (feel like want to vomit)??

yes,

soeng2 au2 想嘔

I think "I think" in English is "我覺得 ngo5 gok3 dak1" in Cantonese, instead of translating the meaning of "I think" directly from English.

e.g. I think he is very good. ----> ngo5 gok3 dak1 keui5 hou2 hou2.我覺得呇n好。

NOT "ngo5 lam2 keui5 hou2 hou2"

I would say 我覺得唔舒服 ngo5 gok3 dak1 m4 syu1 fuk6 for "I think I'm catching sickness".

Wow. How about simply :
want 想 'cern' -- it's kind of hoping
think 唸 'lum' -- meditate
And you always put a "o左 gor" after any verb indicating that it's done:
我唸我病o左 -- I believe I got sick.
