| 我send咗email畀你喇，你check啦！ | |
|
I sent you an email, check it! This is a good example of typical office Cantonese. It's very normal to integrate the three English words above; using the "proper" Chinese words (電郵, 寄 and 睇) is not the most natural way of saying it.
This sentence is in Cantonese, not Mandarin/Standard written Chinese. 粵 Level: 1 |
