Hello,

 

I tried baidu translate, bing and google, all return gibberish. Could anyone help me translate this  : (it's a messages exchange on wechat)

 

你几时翻来我比翻d钱你

你比我老公一样噶

ok

我可能听日后日翻回

 

I can't make any sense of the translations given to me online.

 

Thank you very much for the help.

Just for the record, here's roughly what it is in Mandarin:

你几时翻来我比翻d钱你 → 你何時回來,我把那些錢還給你
你比我老公一样噶 → 你給我的丈夫也可以啊
ok → ok
我可能听日后日翻回 → 我可能明天或後天回來

I found this for 听 :

http://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/dictionary/characters/546/

It would actually be interesting to know, etymologically speaking, how it ended up meaning tomorrow. It's probably linked somehow to the meaning of "waiting" that it also has in Cantonese and not in Mandarin.

 

On the same website I found the different meanings of 比 in Cantonese, but nothing seems to relate to the meaning of "giving", even approximately (I guess I didn't search enough):
