i dislike cantonese pple the most!
alot of them esp the hongkee are too proud of their ascent that they ignore the fact dat mandarin is the main communication language among chinese n often speak cantonese around. look at star award, it really pissed me off when the guests invited from HK cant even know ch 8 is a chinese programme dat they carry on wif their canto speech.
last time i worked in restaurant there is these canto woman trying to speak canto to me, n i told her, "Excuse me, can you speak in mandarin?"

cantonese. Not that I really hate it. I just find the language a bit 'rough'. When a pretty girl speaks the dialect, it doesn't sound feminine. -

I think you all talking about people. And your own bias towards people. This is not really about dialect, is it?Originally posted by 798:i dislike cantonese pple the most!

from wiki,
The use of non-Mandarin dialects in broadcast media is prohibited and the use of dialect in any context is officially discouraged. This has led to some resentment, as Singapore's Chinese community is almost entirely of southern Chinese descent and thus considers Mandarin a foreign language.
why do u hate your true language? if so, can u even speak Mandarin properly?
No? -
si meh??? maybe mor kah chng hee is just like an alternative term they called it.Originally posted by rane:Hokkien is very unrefined. For eg, puppet show, in hokkien they called it "mor kah chng hee". Aiyo, OMG!!!
In Mandarin it is called "bu dai xi".
they seriously call it por tay hee.....taiwan's pi li por tay hee really nice to watch and the hokkein is very refined...
watch.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik0-RCAw80U -
In case u guys did not know hokkien,
during China's golden age, which is the Tang Dynasty, the language spoken there sounded more like a variant of hokkien..
this is evident because linguist found out that Tang Peoms rhymes and sounds better when recited in hokkien instead of mandarin.
In fact Japanese language is more related to Hokkien instead of mandarin too, due to Tang's influence to Japan during that era, in the later years, during the Ming Dynasty, much of Japanese pirates raided the Hokkien province, thus influencing japanese speech and literature even more.
The proper term of Hokkien would be "Min" language.
and cantonese is "Yue", due to its association with "Yue nan" (vietnam) in history.
Hokkien, isn't an "uneducated" language, is just that people in Singapore "downgraded" the language. and soon, due to political changes, Hokkien was downgraded further to a "dialect"
Go on, get a Tang poem and recite in Hokkien...sounds more melodious than mandarin. -
Mor = touchOriginally posted by udontknowme:can translate what mor kah chng hee is?
i mean...translate word for word...
kah chng = buttocks
hee = show
Literally, it's touch buttocks show...
Very descriptive for a puppet show, since puppets have a hole at the bottom... you get the meaning? -
You don't know doesn't mean you need to insult.Originally posted by Eric Cartman:MY SECOND ONE IS HAKKA BUT ONLY BECOS I DONT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TOKING ABOUT -
It sounds crude because it's no longer pure. Pure Hokkien is nice...Originally posted by menoob:i think the most common dialect in sg is hokkien. i dislike it coz it sounds crude.
i only know how to hear, talk a bit.
cantonese is the most common dialect worldwide due to hk immigrants and popularity of hk shows/dramas/singers. chinatown in every country is like cantotown. -
all the same to me
-
none.

U can't hate cantonese, bcos if u go to HK, u must know how to use cantonese "sha jia" when shoping, if u can speak cantonese, u can order a lot of nice food there.
