seoi?

you ever hear older people in hk speak like this?

the ones from xiguan

睡覺

seoi gaau

which would probably be formal to a hk/gz speaker

No I haven't heard this

yea it's a weird dialect

a lot of the people in hong kong been there long enough to not have it

ye true

same phenomenon happened to me in regards to my english accent

went from yorkshire to surrey

there like this one granny in my ancestral home that speaks hakka

i've lost 80% of my yorkshire accent now

both are pretty british tbh

台山 cantonese accent is even more weird

they use 嗎 instead of X唔X

my mum speaks like this in her dialect tho

wtf is that

not ma

but the other one

You pronounce the 5?

@plasticsword https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCVIXc3madY

it's like cantonese

but not cantonese

it's so weird

canton migrants to US spoke this

in the previous century

My mum is from shunde and some people speak a bit like this

dialects in china are so crazy

changes from town to town apparently

ye

真的chink時刻

@plasticsword also i learnt from RTHK lmao

that's probably something to do with my formal choice of words as well

they speak very formal in talk shows

Ye RTHK does since it's mainland china channel

TVB is more hong kong

isn't it the other way round, I heard?

HKers are telling me TVB is puppet CCTV nowadays

TVB is where most the hong kong shit is broadcast
