I can't find 囡 by searching for jyutping = naam4 CCDICT entry for this character is : http://www.chineselanguage.org/cgi-bin/view.php?dbase=ccdict&query=56E1&mode=internal&lang=en&beijing=pinyin&canton=jyutping&meixian=default&sound=0&fields=cantonese,mandarin,english...

I can't find 牠 using jyutping "to1" or "taa1".
(this is probably me being stupid and not recognising a font variant or something)

Thanks puiwaihin, but actually that address isn't correct (it moves about). You can always find the chatroom by going to : http://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/chat Also, at the top of the forums a message shows if anyone is currently chatting (http://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/phorum ) Hope that helps! ...

Hmmm... this argument seems to be one that will run and run...

Yue, are you trying to beat the number of responses from the post below?!

I've reviewed a Chinese-English Dictionary at: http://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/reviews/intbooks.htm Details: Chinese University Press 500+ pages - authors Chik Hon Man & Ng Lam Sim Yuk. Unusually, this dictionary has Cantonese and Mandarin pronunciation. If you want a simple phrasebook, I've review...

The only formal systems that I have seen used are Yale (most common), Jyutping (newest and gaining in popularity) and Sydney Lau (which I think is quite old but I could be wrong). The nice thing about Jyutping is that it uses numbers for the tones which makes it easy to write on forums like this! /d...

Someone on here must know more about this surely, it must be a fairly common word?

Please post if you know!

Er, I think it was fairly obvious I wasn't implying anything "glorious" about it - hence the smiley!

What is the Cantonese for "tongue in cheek?"
