Roger that. I can translate Cantonese with 80-90% accuracy. Some of the finer points of the language elude me but that's probably because I haven't ever stayed in Hong Kong more than 3 weeks at a time.

Mandarin is the work of the devil. Errr...actually...more like the Chinese Communist Party. Bastards.

I kinda speak "hoi-sahn-wah", and cantonese, so I guess that counts. I say "kinda" because I am a jook-sing too. I fumble with my inferior "ABC" chinese very often.

Actually, I'm very scared of asian women for that reason. They might just use you for citizenship or they'll kill you while you sleep. Not that American women wouldn't do that either, but the chance is lower...Think about it this way smack, at least they won't disown you if you marry someone that's not chinese ;)

if mandarin sucks so much why do more people speak it ???:confused:

I always see "chinese" schools ( = mandarin schools) in the US but i don't see cantonese schools :D

hehe...i too like chicks who speak mandarin...but i guess i would settle for one who spoke cantonese if she was extremelyyyyyyy hot and of course they would have to know english cuz i live in america and im no fob :p

two reasons:

1.) mandarin was made the official language of china by the communist government.
2.) there are just more people in the mandarin regions in china in the first place

i don't think mandarin sucks though, it's kind of silly to say that a language sucks. i think that was meant to be a joke.

Ehhh...I live on the east coast. More FOB's over on the west side, so therefore, there's less mandarin here and more people who speak cantonese...
