Cantonese lesson part 1

I have decided to attempt to learn a little bit more Cantonese than the meager amount that I currently possess. As mentioned before, it is a pretty difficult language to master so I thought I would share it with you.

‘This isn’t cooked mate!’ = Mm-goy lay dee soong may sook!
'We are vegetarians’ = Ngor-day sick jai

Some of my personal favorites are sentences involving emergencies
‘Quick, call the cops’ = Fi-dee bong ngor gill ging chart!

I find it amusing that a sentence that is needed for an emergency can be such a mouthful. By the time I would manage to correctly pronounce and ask someone to call the cops the thief would probably have escaped… … In which case I would have to give chase shouting…

…‘Stop! Thief!’ = Churn Yeahaaahhh!!!!!!!! (with feeling)

So to summarize, if anyone steals from you, give chase and make sounds like a cowboy.
