    Read the comments for an interesting view into HK/Chinese culture.

    Cantonese can be an extremely aggressive language and culture. But, if you want to impress the owners of your favorite Cantonese restaurant, practice this sentence for the next time you go out there for dinner. It means, "I feel most humbled, dining within your good fortune". The capital letters carry a stronger tone emanating from the back of the alveolar palette:

    Day Oh LaY No MOW chow HI.


    (Oops, it's Mandarin on the clip).

      In America, this would have been a fist fight or a shooting.

        Wow...I think that was the first time I've seen english subtitles be completely accurate to the cantonese. Amazing.

        I actually knew people like that in HK. For some reason people (usually guys) there either are really calm or really pissy. OMG YOU TOUCHED ME!!!! blah blah blah... fuck yer mom... meh.

        I would have severely beat his ass for talking about my mommy, but props to that dude for being so civil about the matter.

          Man, I could not have taken all that. Whatever it took, I'd have fucked that old dude up. Nobody talks to me like that...
