"syun3 so1 cou2/cou1"

[Rik]

Hi I was wondering if anyone knew what the term "syun3 so1 cou2/cou1" it sounds like SHUEN SOE CHOE. I think the first part means "forget it" but I'm not sure about the "choe" part.

Oh yeah are there others who can follow up on some of the other forum messages that have 0 replies? That would help me (since I have some of them) and others a lot. Thank you for your understanding and help.

1. syun3 sou3 算數 means forget it
1.1 syun3 suk1 sou3 算縮數 (derogative) to calculate in order to take benefit from others

dont u agree that we NEVER SAY "算縮數" and instead we use "諗縮數" lam2suk1sou3 or "搵著數" wan2zoek3sou3 in our daily conversation?

and usually "搵著數" wan2zoek3sou3 refer to those take advantage of others.
"諗縮數" lam2suk1sou3 is used to describe ppl who wants to pay less and to get more. BUT not necessarily take advantage of others.

right?

Hmm, but what about the "cho" part? Any ideas?

諗縮數 you are right, we cantonese don't say syun3 suk1 sou3.

let me guess it again. I guess it to be syun3 sei2 cou2 算死草.
