Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.98,0:00:37.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So first, Hong Kong Cantonese \Nhas a lot of English loanwords
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.18,0:00:40.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So in daily life, the ones \Nmost commonly used include
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.17,0:00:42.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,“Bus”, which is bus
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.39,0:00:44.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Taxi, which is “taxi”

Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.10,0:00:52.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So besides loanwords from English,\Nwhen Hongkongers speak
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.84,0:00:55.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a lot of times they will actually \Nmix in a few English sentences
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.91,0:00:58.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We speak a blend of Chinese and English
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.11,0:01:00.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So for example when planning \Na meal with a friend
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.88,0:01:03.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You might need to “book” a table\Nahead of time

Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.39,0:01:08.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when at work, you might talk about\N“project” and “deadline”,

Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.13,0:01:12.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And travelling on vacation \Nis never complete without
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.61,0:01:14.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going to an “outlet” to go shopping
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.27,0:01:17.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in fact there are a lot of other \Nexamples of mixing Chinese and English
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.09,0:01:18.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I’ll stop here for now
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.84,0:01:22.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So lastly, Hong Kong Cantonese \Nactually uses a lot of words
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.70,0:01:25.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that are different from \Nother places that speak Cantonese
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.95,0:01:29.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I recently saw on the Internet\Nan article about
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.13,0:01:33.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Guangzhou and Hong Kong Cantonese\Nand their difference in vocabulary
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.45,0:01:36.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it turns out what Hongkongers \Nusually call ticket [CE FEI],
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.79,0:01:39.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in Guangzhou Cantonese is called \Nticket [CE PIU]
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.12,0:01:41.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And Hongkongers will say \Nswipe card [LUK KAAT]
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.31,0:01:43.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in Guangzhou Cantonese it is \Nswipe card [CAAT KAAT]

Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.84,0:01:59.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So there’s a lot more examples
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.08,0:02:02.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact sometimes when you hear \Nsomeone speak Cantonese
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.15,0:02:06.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Their vocabulary will roughly tell you\Nwhat region they are from
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.32,0:02:09.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So Cantonese has a long history
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.87,0:02:13.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It has its own unique \Npronunciation system and vocabulary
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.39,0:02:16.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so although a lot of people say \Nit’s difficult to learn Cantonese
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.54,0:02:20.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but personally I think if you have \Na little more patience and time
