Hi Nicole, Matt or anyone else who can help here,
First of all thanks for making the iPad app, it's really helping me learn Cantonese.
I have one question though, the audio stresses that you should address waitresses as "Leng lui" rather than "Siu Je" promising better service if you do.
Even though I've explained this is for an informal setting I can't find a single native Cantonese speaker who doesn't think that's really forward and borderline inappropriate.
Isn't it safer to go with Siu Je? I mean if you walked into a bar in an anglophone country and asked the "attractive female" to bring you a beer would that be appropriate?
Just looking for your thoughts on this.
Keep up the good work.
Kind regards,
David.
