Is Cantonese your mother tongue? How well would you say you know it? This is the second of the series of book created that deep dives into the clever, intriguing — and ever-changing! — spoken Cantonese language.
The Cantonese the we use everyday, is not only a language. It is also a time capsule, documenting the everyday life of the different eras during which the language/phrases were spoken!
It is true that some things have physically disappeared over the years, but the spoken Cantonese language, which has been passed down from generation to generation, connects us to our past, connecting us to the history and culture of Hong Kong in fun and interesting ways!
