  3. @mookie What makes it #Mongolian?

    Just looks like pretty ordinary #Cantonese #ChowMein to me. 🤷‍♂️

    Chow mein or not, I could easily scarf down a quart box of the stuff in one sitting and have done so more than once in the past.

    LOL! 😉

  4. #Language

    I'm a 3rd gen #AmericanBornChinese (#ABC).

    Grew up hearing #Cantonese, which is my native #ChineseLanguage, spoken all around me when I was growing up but I was never required to speak Cantonese with others.

    So, while I can speak a few words & phrases, I cannot carry on a conversation in Cantonese.

    I've dabbled with learning how to speak Cantonese well enough to carry on a normal conversation for some time using books & tapes, which always resulted in failure. in the past.🤷‍♂️

    I'm at it again, this time using #GoogleTranslate to help me in the process, which I'm using to learn new words & how words should be pronounced & structured to carry on a conversation.

    Hoping to keep at to to gradually build up some fluency that I can practice w/my ABC GF, who knows how to speak a bit more Cantonese than I do.

    Wish me luck! 🙏

  10. This is some #MuiChoy with some #garlic cloves. Prepping to cook with it.
    Mui choy is commonly used in classic #Hakka - #Teochew - #Cantonese #cuisines. It's one of the various kinds of #preserved #mustards that almost every #Chinese household has in their pantries. We usually use it to make our traditional Teochew braised pork or chicken or tofu(for our meat free days) dishes.

    In our Teochew language, mui choy translates to "congee vegetables" - because it's eaten with congee often. Very classic, preserved veggie that is used in #cooking - all across South East Asia.

    A recipe for you to try out:

  12. My partner made me watch Stephen Chow's Tong Pak Fu tonight and it was hilarious.

    You can watch the whole thing with English subs on YT (use a privacy front-end of your choosing):

  13. 🎹 I am a biracial. Now I am staying in Taiwan. I started to play the piano since I was 4 and listening to music can makes me free relax. And music just like architecture is solidification of music, it also can say that music is a kind of space

  14. [ #CantoneseCuisine has countless types of #noodles that use various ingredients and techniques. The noodle-eating culture in #HongKong, which historically has been part of the #Guangdong region, is heavily influenced by #Cantonese #cuisine. In this episode of #EatDrinkAsia, #SouthChinaPost reporter Lisa Cam visits #chefs and #NoodleMakers in the city to learn about the various types of noodles for different dishes. She also looks at how local businesses are preserving traditional noodle-making techniques while also coming up with new creations.]

  16. Dear Friends of #swearing at ones #computer,
    I hear
    #Cantonese is best for this. However as an #imaginary #aquatic and C #critter, I tend to blow bubbles in my human form. 😇
    e.g.
    1. "Bless my
    #footsies, the #computerverse is doing #strangeness"
    2. "Oh damn, jam and sugar"
    3. "Excuse me
    #computerperson, I need to ice #scream into a pillow... for an hour"
    Sadly my
    #expletives are more #colourful ​:ablobcatcoffee:​ and may #frighten the #cosmos ​:blobangery:​

  17. what on earth is going on in this sentence? i might try to work this out for myself later, just thinking aloud for now…

    "Hong Wei Xian, a/k/a "Harry Zan," 32, and Li Li, a/k/a "Lea Li," 33, both from the People's Republic of China (PRC)" from ice.gov/news/releases/2-chines

    "a/k/a" is bizarre, but not very interesting, the names are more interesting.

    I would guess that the first names listed are the standard transcriptions of their names in #Pinyin from Simplified Chinese?

    But why is it different in their English names?

    Harry and Lea make sense, the closest common English name … but Zan is weird?

    #Taiwan uses a different system to Pinyin … but would the USA refer to them as being from the PRC? and if they were a Taiwanese spy working for the PRC to steel microchip making secrets, they'd be in Taiwan?

    Maybe Hong Kong or Macau ?

    Maybe judder easier to spell for Americans? but then a Pinyin X would be an S or Sh if you wrote it more phonetically?

    Maybe a spy alias that's not even supposed to be the same name?

  19. #Dreamtonics has released four new #SynthesizerV voicebanks, one of them being a native #Cantonese singer. There's also a new male, native English voicebank. Listening to the demo, he's pretty good, but in my opinion, still doesn't approach the professional level singing of #Solaria.

  23. Besides being a #Cantonese speaking #IrishBornChinese, I also understand #Hakka. My mom is from #LamTsuen ( #TaiPo, #HongKong).
    One thing Lam Tsuen is famous for is their Wishing Tree (they re-opened to public this year and was jammered during #LunarNewYear recently).
    This video gives you a wee glimpse of a Lam Tsuen through Hakka (there's English subtitles). It's one of my fav cultural heritage YT channels to learn more about Hakka food, language & its culture). Enjoy! youtu.be/jy9J9gx4toE

  25. Part 2 of the #language quiz! True of false:

    5. In #CANTONESE, the word for "yes" becomes a vulgar expletive if you say it in a higher voice.

    6. In #ARABIC, there are more than 100 ways to make a word plural.

    7. In the African language of #IGBO, you say a word backward to make it plural.

    Cont'd...
