Thank you for the lesson! It's interesting how in Cantonese, to exchange money is to "sing" money. Would it be possible to still say 換錢？

[@5minutecantonese]

Of course you are right! Both are okay. 😊

[@viviphye]

There’s a funny saying in Brazil: “money doesn’t bring happiness. Gimme yours and be happy!!” 🤣 🤪😬😬😬

[@5minutecantonese]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's funny

[@OffeJ83]

Just wondering, but what do you mean by return money? Like pay them back?

[@5minutecantonese]

Yes! You are right. My English is poor. 😞 Sorry😅

[@OffeJ83]

[@yenlo319]

still the best

Thank you!

So 借錢 can mean to borrow and adding 俾someone means to lend. But how would I say “I borrowed money from (someone)”? Also, 畀錢, since 俾 already means give, if I want to say “pay someone” would it be 俾(someone)錢?

[@5minutecantonese]

For the first case, we can use the word "to ask" (man6) 問 e.g. I ask (someone) to borrow money. for the 2nd question, we'll say 俾錢(someone)😉

[@OffeJ83]

@@5minutecantonese ahh I see you already covered this in another video and I already wrote it down. Good review for me then. At least the second question is new to me :-)

[@OffeJ83]

@@5minutecantonese to borrow from (someone) literally translates to “asked them to lend money”. So what about in the literal case of “I asked him to lend me some money (and he said no)”?

[@5minutecantonese]

we'll say "but he doesn't lend" 但係佢唔借

Thank you for your video. Regarding 2:49, 撳 钱 literally means "Press Money". However, 金 钱 sounds similar as gum cin2 which literally means "Gold Money". Therefore, the intonation difference between the words 撳 versus 金 distinguishes the verb to "Press" from the noun for "Gold".

[@5minutecantonese]

🤣For cantonese, the tone difference is not subtle. Gold is tone 1, press is tone 6. 😅

[@jadenephrite]

​@@5minutecantonese Thank you very much for your explanation regarding the intonation difference between the character 撳 for the verb to "Press" versus the character 金 for the noun for "Gold". It is much appreciated.
