skylee Posted April 1, 2004 at 01:02 PM Report Posted April 1, 2004 at 01:02 PM Yeah it should be 遨遊. Quote
hparade Posted April 2, 2004 at 12:26 AM Report Posted April 2, 2004 at 12:26 AM 縱橫天下, 傲遊四方 sounds quite masculine and proud to my ears.... Quote
Quest Posted April 2, 2004 at 12:32 AM Report Posted April 2, 2004 at 12:32 AM skylee的縱橫天下, 大杀四方 是在四方城内 少安毋躁。 Quote
geek_frappa Posted April 2, 2004 at 03:40 AM Author Report Posted April 2, 2004 at 03:40 AM sounds quite masculine and proud to my ears.... why did you say that? i am curious. this topic often comes up with chinese men. it wastes a lot of time, but i am curious why it is important. i am guessing that gendered norms are not discussed in chinese universities. your whining souds feminine.

geek_frappa Posted April 2, 2004 at 03:42 AM Author Report Posted April 2, 2004 at 03:42 AM but i am still curious. i learned cantonese from a girl so i sounded feminine before i learned to speak like REAL MAN. where can i find the right words for men and right words for women? so i can sound more MANLY. thanks.

geek_frappa Posted April 2, 2004 at 01:11 PM Author Report Posted April 2, 2004 at 01:11 PM asking again, where can i find the right words for men and right words for women? ni nao, wall. tianqi, zenme yang? Quote
hparade Posted April 2, 2004 at 08:51 PM Report Posted April 2, 2004 at 08:51 PM i didn't propose any logic anyway, just the feeling about words agree or not, some words do have some gender things in it, there are differences in vocab used between men and women ( or masculine/ feminine person), just more or less in different languages.

Quest Posted April 3, 2004 at 12:19 AM Report Posted April 3, 2004 at 12:19 AM There are no male or female specific vocabs in Cantonese, but there are differences in the way they express themselves. female version: ”咦～～～唔好咁啦“ (yeeee, stop) “好衰嘎你！” (you are bad) “哇！好得意呀！” (wah! so cute!) male version: "喂，咪咁啦“ ”有冇搞错呀你“ “哇！好鬼得意喎” Quote
