PandaRoo Posted May 27, 2007 at 04:27 AM Report Posted May 27, 2007 at 04:27 AM Hi everyone! My name is PandaRoo, and I am a speaker of Cantonese. I would like to learn a few Shanghainese phrases that I haven't found in other threads/websites. Could you please provide me with Romanised transliterations for the Shanghainese (accompaniment with audio would be best ) These are: why today, yesterday, tomorrow you are pretty and this is fun I will go to... clever China Hong Kong Asia ugly which one? stop lying! tell the truth funny should (ying gai) do (zuo) monday, tuesday...etc Thankyou very much!

Note: it's only an approximation ): why= way-sah today= chin-tsaw (chin-tsaw) yesterday= zoh-nyih tomorrow = mun-tsaw you are pretty = Noong law phioh-liang uh and= t'uh,tah this is fun = guh-eh meh haw-buh-shahn eh I will go to...= ngoo ueh ch'ee uh clever = ts'oong-min China= tsoong-koh Hong Kong= shahng-kong Asia=yah-tso (o in so) ugly= neh-k'ö (German ö, like ir in bird) which one? = a-lee uh stop lying!= Vioh pee-ngoo luh tell the truth = kong tsen-woo funny = wah-chee should (ying gai)= in-keh do (zuo) = tsoo monday= lee-pa ih/liang/seh/s/ng/loh/thee For more information, you can go to wu-chinese.com/bbs for answers.
