Learn Cantonese - The 2 Ways to Say Thank You

[@chrisng7972]

Whoa, I just stumbled onto your channel. As a native HKer, Cantonese and English were my first languages. Not only are your pronunciations native like, your explanations are spot on. Bravo!!!!!

Thank you so much! I appreciate your taking the time to comment! :)

I came across your channel while looking up the romanization systems for Mandarin and Cantonese. Really good, you are an excellent teacher. I absolutely hate the system of using numbers to denote the tones, both for Mandarin and for Cantonese. Umm... it's the second tone ... huh? what the heck is number 2 tone?...hate it! I'll never get used to this system. I prefer the old systems with the diacritical marks, very intuitive and my brain picks them up a lot faster. Anyhow, your way of explaining things is the same as my way of explaining things, and the details stick with me really well. And of course the diacritical marks stick better as well.

Hi Sue to clarify, would you use mh goi for your barber after getting your hair cut? And would you use do jeh when a waiter brings your food? Some things seem like a service and a gift at the same time. Thanks in advance (mh goi/do jeh in advance?) :)

Hello Toastfishguy. The first case and the second case are both "mm koy" (the "k" is unaspirated).

Are there two thank you in Mandarin?

[@CantoneseCorner]

Hi Ben! Sorry for my late reply 😅 not that I know of ... I’ve only ever heard the “xie xie” one (or variations of it). Mh gòi is pretty special!! 😁
