rose~ Posted May 11, 2006 at 04:16 AM Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 at 04:16 AM A very funny clip of McDull for Cantonese learners! See if you understand it... I love the sound of the "la" or "lo" when the doctor says [pop=common/pǔtōng]普通[/pop][pop=ailment/bìng]病[/pop]囉 and the other "a" and "la" sounds. Actually the doctor has a nice voice, I think. watch What on earth is [pop=拜拜/bàibài]拜拜[/pop][pop=meat/ròu]肉[/pop]?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atitarev Posted May 11, 2006 at 04:34 AM Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 at 04:34 AM Sorry for offtopic, Rose. How do you post the characters with popups? There was a discussion here somewhere but I couldn't find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted May 11, 2006 at 04:54 AM Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 at 04:54 AM 拜拜肉 is the muscle on the arm that waves when you wave goodbye (thus bye-bye). Fairly unsightly. haha. And the doctor's voice belongs to 黃秋生 if I am not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylee Posted May 11, 2006 at 12:39 PM Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 at 12:39 PM rose, if you are interested in Cantonese and McDull, you may also be interested in this programme which has both and much more -> 春田花花中華博物館 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose~ Posted May 11, 2006 at 01:27 PM Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 at 01:27 PM OMG, thanks so much! It's amazing how the Internet makes so much possible. In my day we had the old version of Practical Chinese Reader (with the oddly-named Gubo and Palanka) and notepad and pencil Rather bizarrely, the website seems to be inacessible here but I got the player to open anyhow. Atitarev, there is an option for pop-ups on the left of the screen when you are writing a post, it says, adsotate. Still laughing at [pop=excess fat under arms/bàibàiròu]拜拜肉[/pop]...
