1.1.3) Notes

1) Placing the prefix “daihdaihdaihdaih” before numerals can form ordinal numbers.

2) For floor number, ordinal number is not used in Cantonese

3) For page numbers, ordinal number is used in Cantonese. If people say

“yâtyâtyâtyât----yihpyihpyihpyihp”, it means “one page” instead of “page one”

4) For road number, same as English, ordinal number is not used for road number

2.1.2) Note

1) No MW for “day” and “night” Basically all nouns take measure words. Measure words (MW) works like “piece(s)” in “a piece of paper” or “two pieces of paper” in English. However, there’s exception for “day” and “night”. They don’t take measure word.

2) Tone change for “year”

The original tone for year is “nìhn”. But the tone is change into high rising in “next year:

chêut níchêut níchêut níchêut nínnnn” etc.

followed by a verb instead of a noun.

taaitaaitaaitaai----táaitáaitáaitáai” instead of “ngoh ge taaingoh ge taaingoh ge taaingoh ge taai----táaitáaitáaitáai”. However, if the possessed object take only one

syllable, i.e. son: “jáijáijáijái” and daughter: “néuinéuinéuinéui”, the measure word or “gegegege” cannot be

skipped. e.g. my son: “ngóh go jngóh go jngóh go jngóh go jááááiiii” instead of “ngóh jáingóh jáingóh jáingóh jái”.

11.1.3) Note

1. ““““ââââamamamam””””

For “ââââamamamam” or “¬¬¬¬hhhh----ââââamamamam”, it may refer to the size or the specification of the

products. It just depends on the things you buy.

2. wantwantwantwant

In Cantonese, “want: ssssééééungungungung” can’t be followed by a noun, e.g. “a red one”. It

has to be followed by a verb. For example, if you want a red one, people say “want to take a red one” instead of “want a red one”

11.2.4) Notes

1) very good: “hóu hóuhóu hóuhóu hóuhóu hóu”

Coincidently, “very” and “good” have the same pronunciation: “hóuhóuhóuhóu”. If someone say

“hóu hóu…hóu hóu…hóu hóu…hóu hóu…”, the first “hóuhóuhóuhóu” is “very”, the second “hóuhóuhóuhóu” is “good”. It doesn’t means

“very very…” as Cantonese usually don’t say “very very…”
