Hi

I wanted to see if anyone could help me translate a few words from Cantonese to English? I have a list, and if anyone can translate a few of these that would be excellent!

1) luht dai
2) nong gui gui ?
3) fun wah
4) ji bahn
5) yi yun
6) ping guen
7) fan wai
sing gak
9) baak fu
10) ho bei
11) san jai
12) koi bong

Any help on these I will be extremely thankful. Thank you!

(6) ping guen = equality (? - a guess)
(8) sing gak = one's character, personality
(9) baak fu = uncle (older than one's father, and on dad's side of the family)
(12) koi bong = is a kind of beggar's leader or refers to a band of beggars. You see them in films involving martial arts in set in dynastic china...

(7) fan wai = stomach's churning or turn my stomach, doesn't agree with you, sick feeling
