[@bailinhuang]

This is amazing and pronunciation is on point -Cantonese person

[@CantoneseCorner]

Thank you, Cantonese person! :) I appreciate it soooo much!!

[@potatowaffles184]

I might be disowned if my family find out I'm watching these videos. I'm Chinese but born in NZ, grew up in Australia. Your Cantonese is perfect!

[@CantoneseCorner]

Oh this made me laugh -- thank you!!! I have to make it to NZ and Australia one day .... have many friends there that I miss a lot!

[@CantoneseCorner]

I'm so glad!! Thanks for watching! And for especially bringing me back to this video I did a few years ago for my mom, who sadly passed in December. Happy memories!! I'm so glad you can travel to Hong Kong in April -- half of my family is there now, and I'm looking forward to being back by year's end!! Enjoy every moment of your trip!! 🤗

Thanks, SubwayDawg! To use her words, she will be "tickled pink" to receive your greeting :)

My colleague from Hong Kong said that "Sam seung sih sihng" is more appropriate for New Year wishes than birthday 😅

[@CantoneseCorner]

Hi! Thanks for commenting so I can reply to say: "Welcome to the world of asking native speakers and getting different answers! " LOL 🤣 I suppose I would get a different answer too, had I not asked my mother-in-law for phrases? Different generations, perhaps? 😅🤭🤩

[@Tadae323]

@@CantoneseCorner Maybe! He still was impressed! ;-)

[@musa75mw]

太好了。谢谢你老师。总是很有意思。祝福，魏马丁

[@CantoneseCorner]

You're welcome and thank YOU for taking the time to let me know. :)

[@musa75mw]

没问题。:-)

[@kennychwk]

身體健康could be "good health" 心想事成also like "best wishes" or "good luck", in some HK eng program "good health and good luck" are the close word especially news program

你好Sue! 你新嘅錄影(youtube video?)好睇! 唔該! 我嘅生日係七月三十日. Sue嘅生日係幾時呀? : )

[@CantoneseCorner]

Hi there and thanks! I've asked my friend for advice, and she said that instead of 錄影 (luhk yíng) for video, it would be better to use 影片 (yíng pín) although in some instances, she said, 錄影 can be used ... but for YT videos, 影片 is better. Hope that helps - I learned something new too! :) A week til your birthday -- happy birthday in advance! 🎂 Mine isn't for awhile ... December 20th - Sagittarius :)

[@deroxanlit4181]

I think it will be awesome if you live in Hong Kong forever.

[@CantoneseCorner]

Working my way back to Hong Kong !! 💫💪💪 💫Hope to be back by year's end! 🤞🤞 A few more things to work on here ... I can't wait to be back!

[@tszwahyeung1410]

我都過咗好多個生日了，至誕生之日呢個世界開始跟我嘅意識互相干涉，我得到各種感覺嘅回憶。不過我嘅時間比起宇宙實在可以忽略不計，如果冇人再記得我嘅存在，我算唔算存在過呢？好似我唔會記得我祖先嘅祖先嘅祖先……佢哋嘅記憶完全丟失了。

[@CantoneseCorner]

Such deep and interesting thoughts and questions ... thanks for sharing ... helps to keep things in perspective. I for one am hoping that technology will keep us (our memories) alive for many, many, many generations to come. :)

啫係越精細嘅歷史就越模糊……最近啲人又唔開心，人生就算知道殘酷嘅真相之後仍然要有勇氣去熱愛生活，因爲我哋嘅存在本身就好奇蹟，你諗下你存在嘅概率係幾咁微細，但係唔理歷史上有咩酷暑嚴寒、山崩地裂、海嘯滔天、戰禍連年發生過，你存在概率就100%。學得啊 Jack 話：make it count！大地在我腳下！
