Couldn't find Cantonese dictionary, you're my last hope

[Erik Ellis]

Hello all,

A friend of mine said that I am very (I think I have properly transliterated it) "chèung hèi," which to me sounds like "churn hay". She said she couldn't explain it's meaning in English and I couldn't find any dictionary to translate it. If you could provide a translation or at the very least, the characters, I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks,

Erik Ellis

I think it might be cheung4hei3 長 氣 'long-winded; tiresome; tedious'.

Thanks for the response. It's not as bad as I thought
