Hofmann Posted August 31, 2011 at 11:43 PM Report Posted August 31, 2011 at 11:43 PM Ugh I hate the Cantonese they use on Wikipedia. Why can't they say 雜食動物 like normal people instead of talking like children? Quote
Glenn Posted August 31, 2011 at 11:46 PM Report Posted August 31, 2011 at 11:46 PM PS - also take a look at this website -> http://win2003.chi.c...in2.asp?py=gaat Do I need to install Cantonese fonts or something to see that? I'm getting boxes in the places of some characters. Quote
Demonic_Duck Posted September 1, 2011 at 01:43 AM Report Posted September 1, 2011 at 01:43 AM Aesthetically, I really like 彎。 Also 孩。 And for some reason, 哈。 Quote
imron Posted September 1, 2011 at 02:02 AM Report Posted September 1, 2011 at 02:02 AM 曱甴, which I recently found on Skylee's profile also not so recently (2003!) mentioned earlier on in this very thread. Quote
heifeng Posted September 1, 2011 at 06:23 AM Report Posted September 1, 2011 at 06:23 AM omg, trick question, all characters are cool. The best character is the one that you have yet to learn. That's it, hop to it now and find it! heheheh Quote
roddy Posted September 1, 2011 at 08:11 AM Author Report Posted September 1, 2011 at 08:11 AM also not so recently (2003!) mentioned earlier on in this very thread. And so the circle of life is complete . . . Quote
Glenn Posted September 1, 2011 at 02:02 PM Report Posted September 1, 2011 at 02:02 PM Especially if skylee is spraying them with Raid. Quote

Glenn Posted September 1, 2011 at 03:08 PM Report Posted September 1, 2011 at 03:08 PM Yeah, that's what was auto-selected. Can you see them? Quote
jbradfor Posted September 1, 2011 at 03:28 PM Report Posted September 1, 2011 at 03:28 PM Yes, no problem for me. But please don't ask me what font I'm using.... Quote
Glenn Posted September 1, 2011 at 03:34 PM Report Posted September 1, 2011 at 03:34 PM Well, would I be right in assuming that it's just 曱甴 and then 曱甴 with suffixes in the 詞單 column? I also see squares in the 聲調 field (in the links), and I'm assuming that's not 曱甴. Quote
jbradfor Posted September 1, 2011 at 03:46 PM Report Posted September 1, 2011 at 03:46 PM I just looked that I could see something, forgot to pay attention to what I was seeing...... So I guess I'm not doing any better than you. Quote
Hofmann Posted September 1, 2011 at 09:23 PM Report Posted September 1, 2011 at 09:23 PM ...Nope...the phonetic component looks like it fits. BTW, I say gat6 zat6 (Jyutping). Never heard of gaat6 zaat6. Quote
Glenn Posted September 1, 2011 at 11:29 PM Report Posted September 1, 2011 at 11:29 PM Well, I think this is all well beyond me at this point, because I can't really see what's going on, and I pretty much know no Cantonese. Quote
