樹榕 is rubber. I call 橡筋 as 樹榕仔 ☺️ We also say 「閂燈」 as 「閂火」。 My cousin (Malaysian) who studied in Sydney last time staying with a HK flat mate. They went out and my cousin told her HK flatmate that she forgot to 「閂火」when she got out. Her friend was totally freaking out and then only realised my cousin meant she didn’t switch off the light, not the stove 😂

Once several of us met including one friend from Malaysia; the Malaysian friend said she liked to wear 樹蓉褲。 Those who are from HK were perplexed; what? 薯蓉?meshed potato? We couldn’t relate meshed potato with trousers! Eventually we managed to find out what it was after lengthy communication 😂😂😂 That is “trousers with elastic band”.

其实有好多字眼是地方语言同化的 如: 掺 = "cam"puh = 加 爹 = teh = 茶 (奶茶) 三万 = saman = 牛肉干 苏妈 = semua = 全部 (某些地区的马来人会读 suma) 等等等等
Many of us know that 滚水 means boiled water. This has a historical significance. In the old days before tap water was considered safe for drinking, households boiled all their drinking water. People in rural areas also get water from streams and wells. Hence 滚水 was used to differentiate boiled and unboiled water. However, over time, 滚水 is now used to mean plain water that is safe for drinking. BTW, scratch the head in Cantonese is "ngau" 头. But on two or more occasions, the 女婿 in the video said "owl" which is a 懒音. Today's HKG people use 懒音 extensively, influenced by what they hear on TV. It's only news casters that pronounce the words more accurately. When someone is correct, please say "ngam" instead of laziily saying "arm".
Hahas.. my wife is from Guangzhou. We have the same situation with you. But now she totally understand. When we fighting i always say 'mo bin lo'. And then she always angry with my words
Hi.different areas, had many kind of meaning of words.( Cantonese 's , hokkien's, Chinese 's mandarins, English-speaking...all are because.......mothers tough
滚水 means plain water (Hokkien/Hakka). 熱 (热) 水 means hot water (Cantonese) . 暖水(半热, 少热) means warm water (just a little little bit hot) (Cantonese). The easiest way is just order 礦(矿)泉水 bottled mineral water (warm or cold 暖/冻; warm here means normal room temperature). These words are commonly used in coffeeshop (kopitiam·) 茶餐室 (or 茶室) when u order "sky juice = drinking water, in Mandarin 白开水" drinks especially in KL. I hope these are correct, and are helpful to y'all.

@@MYHongkie Just for your info. If u go to mamak restoran (Indian muslim restaurants) in Msia, u have to speak Malay bcos restaurant owners hire foreign workers (mostly from India and Bangladesh; they learn some Malay words) to take orders. If fact, all Malaysians speak English bcos we study at least one or various, or all subjects in English language from kindle garten to Form 5 (= O level) , depends on the type of schools. Medium of instruction in Colleges n univ are all 100% English. Coffeeshop owners speak English too but they seldom take customers' orders, too bad.
