Jenivere Posted January 19, 2014 at 01:59 AM Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 at 01:59 AM I've been using this forums for the last month or so to write text messages to my mum from overseas for the first time (who can read chinese but not english... while I'm the other way around). You all have been really helpful with helping me use the right "cantonese characters" instead of writing really formally or in a way that a mandrin speaker would usually use - it's really hard to find useful websites like that. Thankyou! Today, I've been searching everywhere on what to say/write in a card to someone who have been looking after you while you are on holiday at their home. I know how to say it... (I think, hahaha) but I have no clue how to write it and, once again, the translators are coming up with formal/mandrin ways of the phrases that I want to use. Basically, I want to write... and because my mum told me that I had to say it in that way to be polite; " when you are free, please come visit in new zealand " Thank you (again)!
