Learn Cantonese: Lesson 11 "I forgot" in Cantonese

[BlackRukh]

Guy: You forgot to give my book back today.

Girl: Oh I forgot, I'm really sorry, when do you want it?

Guy: I'll wait, I will learn English later (then talks really fast).

Girl: I'll go home now and give it to you.

Guy: You'll go home and get it? that's not alright/good. Do you know or not know anyone with this book to give to me?

Girl: *Someone* has a book which teaches English, I'll ask her to give it to you.

Guy: That's fine/good, thank you.

My translation is slightly off, but I hope I helped

@BlackRukh

Nice try!

Check out the next page near the bottom of the comments to get the parts you missed.

You can find the official translation, Yale transcription and characters there. The book (Learn Cantonese 1) with all 15 Units (50+ dialogues) will be published shortly - eventually with epub and Kindle editions.

@crazyhanyu Thanks! I never knew the translations was in the comment as I saw a few people asking for the translations, I decided to translate it myself. Thanks for telling me about your resources, I might have a look at the characters as I don't know how to read properly :( haha

@efast00

You'll hurt his feelings!

[yougotafriendinme80]

@efast00  he is probably a cantonese speaking turk

[crazyhanyu]

@yougotafriendinme80

Quite possibly - these days there are a lot of non-Chinese who have learned Cantonese living in HK. There's also a community of S.A. Asians with roots in Nepal, India etc who were born here - so many speak fluent Cantonese.

A: You didn't remember to bring that book back today by any chance, did you?

B: Oh, darn! No, I didn't. I'm really sorry. When do you need it?

A: I really need it. It'll be a pain if I have to go to English class without a book!

B: Well, I'll go home and get it for you.

A: No need to do that!. Do you know somebody who has a copy they can lend me?

B: Oh, yeah! Mr Chan uses that book for his English class. Let me ask him to lend it to you.

A: Ok. Great. Thanks a lot!

[crazyhanyu]

If you feel it's a waste of your time, just go elsewhere. Simple, eh?

And, as they say in Cantonese, 食屎,你.

[globaldispatchers]

How the hell is anyone supposed to learn from this? Take this pile of crap off youtube please. There is NO learning value in this waste of my time.
