what would be the direct translation of

canto
"dut" (sort of meaning ho yi, or can)= in mandarin

canto
"say" (meaning need to eg. lei say mm say hu=do you need to go?)= in mandarin


thanks.
PS: is there other words for "look" other than "kan" and "jian" in mandarin?
eg. canto has "hon" and "tay" or "gin"

"dut" in mandarin is "ke yi"."neng"
and "say" in mandarin is "shi"
"look" in mandarin there is many words ,like "kan""jian""wang""qiao""kui"
but "kan" and "jian" will just enough.
