The artist started the Easy to Learn Cantonese series when he joined P. S. 1 Contemporary Art Center's Studio Program in 2000. He taught over 400 visitors the Cantonese pronunciation of I Love You (Ou Oi Lei) in his studio. In Hong Kong, people are more popular to say " I Love You" in english than in cantonese.
PS1 Contemporary Art Centre was once a public school.

  • @loanshark51 In proper Cantonese it is "ngo oi nei". Trust me it is correct. However people started to randomly add "ng" to characters that never needed it because they wanted to speak proper Cantonese again, like love "oi", people made it "ngoi" but its actually incorrect.

  • Sometimes, the love part sounded like Ole! xD

  • hard

  • Is 'oh' an alternate pronunciation for 我 or something??? The woman who makes Naked Cantonese (I guess fluent speaker) says 'oh' too, though... none of my beginner books seem to explain about it.

  • ajajajajaa

  • I agree with your mum :-)

  • what was shown to the people?

  • it can go either way.

    Nei and lei basically mean the same thing. Kind of different perspective though.

    (Im a native speaker)

  • my dad says 'ngo ngoi nei' but my mum says 'ngo ngoi lei'

    i live in australia, so i have no idea.

  • WTF? its not ou oi lei! its NGO NGOI LEI
