"high expectations"?

[steve]

Hi,

Can any of you all help me with these translations/questions? Thanks! Any hanzi will be HELPFUL.

* gaan2 zaap6 - does this deal with choosing? and high expectations?

* ngaan2 - there was this word that meant "high expectations" that started with "ngaan2" and was three syllables. anyone know it?

* gong2 faan2 waa6 - does this mean to say something that is against sb, or something?

* gaau2 m4 dim2/dim1

* 頂你唔順, I read in Diane's post and I wanted more information on the word "頂" (ding). Does it mean just to tolerate?

* hun dou3 - where "hun" sounds like "Hun" the barbarian in English.

What does "頂你唔順" mean exactly?

How else can I use "ding"/頂... examples?

[Casey]

gong2 faan2 waa6 = 讲反话 talking the opposite
high expection (in 3-syllable phrase) = ngaan guong gou 眼光高??

[Terence]

gaan2 zaak6 揀擇, picky, too fussy about.....

ding2 朾, to support, to hold (things are about to collapse)

ngaan5 gok3 gou1 眼角高, the angle you look is high, (means expect too much, not easy to be satisfied by ordinary things, usually uses when choosing spouse)
