Have you ever wished you could talk more with your grandparents in Cantonese, but didn’t know what to say? In this heartfelt episode number 8 of Bite-size Cantonese, I share my own story of growing up with my grandma — how she cared for me when I was little, and how I regret not spending more time with her before she passed away.
We’ll explore 8 simple but powerful Cantonese phrases that can open up warm, flowing conversations with grandparents — from 「食咗飯未呀?」( Have you eaten yet?) to 「得閒我再嚟探你」( When I’m free, I’ll come visit you again) .
A few words can strengthen family bonds. Hope they are useful for you and I really hope you will pick up the phone and call your grandparents today.
