HideListeners, what's your preferred method of transport? ;) Tell us using your new Cantonese vocab below!
Hi JC,
Hahaa I like that name too! ็ถฟ็พไป "little sheep" as "scooter".
I guess because compared to the motorcycles, scooters are more gentle and user-friendly.
Thanks for telling us that Vespa means wasp in Italian! Very interesting!:smile:

I love how the meaning of the characters for scooter are "little sheep":
็ถฟ็พไป = scooter
็ถฟ็พ = sheep
ไป = son; child; small animal
But I guess naming scooters after little animals is common the world over...
"Vespa" means wasp in Italian. :smile:
Hi littlefoot,
Thank you very much for your comment and support! :mrgreen:
Great to hear that you like our videos!
่ป is actually the short form of ๆฑฝ่ป, so they are basically the same. In conversations usually the short form is used, unless it is referring to some relevant terms, such as ๆฑฝ่ปไฟ้ช "car insurance" and ๆฑฝ่ป็ถญไฟฎ "car repair/maintenance".
Good observation! ๅฎ has quite a lot of definitions:
[1] single; individual
[2] only; alone; lone
[3] of an odd number
[4] a slip of paper
[5] simple
[6] a list
[7] a Chinese family name
Following are some examples:
ๅๅฎ (maai4 daan1)"to get the check/bill"
ๅฎ่ป (daan1 ce1) "bicycle"
ๅฎ่บซ (daan1 san1) "single (marital status)"
ๅฎ็จ (daan1 cing4) "one-way"
่ๅฎ (coi3 daan1) "menu"
็ฐกๅฎ (gaan2 daan1) "simple"
Cheers,

Love the learning with pictures, really helps build vocabulary! :mrgreen:
Just wondered why car is ๆฑฝ่ป not just ่ป?
Also wondered what ๅฎ literally means? I've noticed it used in a few places, above in bicycle, asking for the bill and asking for a single trip ticket... :shock:
Would love to see more vocab videos!!
