dstarsboy Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 From what I can tell, "Excuse Me" is something like doy-do-chi. Or doi-bu-chi Link to comment
esun41 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 wifeey says bu keqi--means you are very welcome.173706[/snapback]My wife agrees with bu ke qi. As this is Mandarin for you are so welcome, (more polite as my daughter says) Hak hai (not sure of spelling) is Guangzhouhua per my wife (Cantonese) bu yong xi is Putonghua for "your welcome" (generally speaking-Mandarin) I am so confused... still haven't mastered my English yet!

jim_julian Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Be careful with "Wu Gui" (sometimes it's followed by "Wang Ba Dan/SOB"...it could be an offensive cursing word in Chinese173763[/snapback]"Wu gui wang ba dan" is my favorite chinese curse! In literature, it's often translated to "son of a drunken turtle". I can't wait till I get an opportunity to use it 183719[/snapback]errr ... this son of a drunken turtle thing is really a more serious curse than the English speaking reader might expect ... use it only when you'd say "F' off" ... which I hope is not often!
