How to say "THANK YOU" in Cantonese

bbchris

OK there's two Thank You's in Cantonese:

"Dor Je" --written in Chris phonetics - is thank you for a gift or a free service.

Here's a noisy mp3 file of me saying "dor je":

"M Goi" - is thank you for a service - use this in restaurants etc.

Here's a just-as-noisy mp3 file of me saying "m goi":

So How am I going to listen to YOUR pronunciations?!?!? :banana

I'm so sorry - I put the wrong link in! Whoops!

Thanks Mike for the German phonetics - 'Dooo Dschä'

Hope you guys don't find the background noise on the mp3 too distracting......

You've got a nice sounding voice Chris

I might take those mp3s and make a techno song out of them

Which Chinese dialect is Xhi Xhi from? (prononced she she)

I'm looking at a thank you note from bejing, and, that was given to me by the translator as saying thank you.

background racket=crickets????

bbchris

Don - she she - is Mandarin (Putonghua) for thank you. So did you visit China?

Yes Drooly - that's Buddy Holly & his friends in the garden making a racket.

Thank you Chris...

I haven't visited China yet, but, they visited Connecticut, and, we found homes here for 42 Chinese athletes, and coaches, from the world special Olympics. We now have many friends in the Peoples Republic of China.

The thank you note came with a magnificent silk thread tapestry, mounted in a glass frame. A present to place in our living room, to remind us of our friends over there.

China hosted Asian world Olympic games last year, and, they remembered how pleasant things went in Connecticut a few years ago. They contacted us early last year, to share our methods when they came to the USA. After getting a list of do's and don'ts from our state department, we gave them all the info we had. It was a unique experience.

One of my dreams is to see the sun rise and set on both oceans. The only one left is sunrise on the Pacific. I have an open invitation to sail on a Chinese Freighter, whenever I can afford to go there. Eventually, I'll make that dream come true!
