As a Malaysian who knows 5 languages (Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Malay, Hakka), I can attest that Cantonese is the best language for swearing. It is very expressive and versatile, it sounds funny and rude at the same time.
Cantonese vulgarities are expressive because the entire spew of profanities starts with taking in as much air as possible deep into your diaphragm before you start. The entire sentence must be equally loud or you immediately lose the fight because your aura(氣勢) is weak
@TheAaronwhc Hakka is insane in swearing. I have met 2 totally different types of Hakkas. The very civilized and the insanely vulgar where every sentence has at least 2 'f' words
"Diu Lay"(fuck you) in Cantonese is such a versatile word, you can use it like the driver to express anger, in the same time you can use it to greet your close friends.
@@kevintse2870We sometimes call our friends "lun joeng"(fu*kface) or "cat tau"(di*khead) when we are joking. You must be familiar with that if you are Cantonese😂
Also we’re just too used to it that any kind of insult feels nothing to us 🤣 Go to hell? F you? Nah we can literally curse someone’s whole family with three words
@@SisselOnline "lung" is mostly used as an adverb or noun. "gau (鳩)" and "chat (柒)", while having much limited meanings, are comparatively more frequently used (amongst profanities) as adjectives.

American seaman. -one has the surname Mohammed and he looks mixed rather than entirely Chinese. -one carried dozens of photo albums in the front seat and let you look at them.

Yup, that’s HK alright. Nothing is personal; the curses are almost just perfunctory. So foreigners and tourists who criticise HKers for being rude and/or racists simply haven’t lived there long enough to get it.
To Hongkongers, you have to speak Cantonese if you are Chinese. Once in a Chinese restaurant in London, a waiter started speaking to me in Cantonese. I said I don't speak Cantonese. After taking down my order in English, he asked me if I wanted chopsticks or knife and fork.😮
@@maggie_857 As a Hong Konger, almost all Chinese people who lived there speak cantonese. It is an government official language and it is what majority speaks which is a part of the culture itself. If you are a 'Chinese' (Singaporean Chinese/American born Chinese/Mainlanders...) and you don't speak Cantonese, it is likely that other Hong Kongers/waiter working in the Chinese restaurant in London don't want to 'assume' your background so they would ask if you want to use chopsticks or knife and fork, because some people just don't prefer using chopsticks to eat Chinese food even for chinese people. I prefer to use knife and fork for Chinese noddles as well, I only use chopsticks because I don't want to annoy the waiter. It is just the waiter being considerate.
@chloeching627 The name of the restaurant is Wong Kei and it was back in the 80s. I think they were the original rude restaurant. You needed to be there to understand the context.
As a hongkonger,I admire our language,as our selection of slurs is way less compared to other languages,but all of their delivery is on the point,precise and lethal. Plus the emphasis of our slurs on our parents and family reflects the Chinese philosophy of respecting our elders and taking care of them
As a person from Hong Kong, I can say that this happens on a daily basis. When you’re on the streets, restaurants, and schools. I don’t usually swear at people unless I’m very mad and if it’s teasing my friends.
The funny thing is that the Cantonese song can be very poetic and romantic, quite famous in Chinese circle, and it sound better than mandarin, I'm not Cantonese btw. 😁
There's a common saying that Hong Kong's service is no service 😂😂😂 (sometimes I saw people online says they actually wanted to visit Hong Kong so they can experience the legendary bad service lol wonder if anyone actually did that though)
I am from hk and I just love everything about 🇭🇰 and I am so proud to be able to speak Cantonese , if you live in Hong Kong long enough you will understand Cantonese is way beyond a language ,Its a sound of a beautiful city voice ,thank you for watching👍🏻
Im from Hong Kong and ive been taking cabs here my whole life. Never have i ever met a taxi driver who can speak in english, "it offers visitors a very beautiful view of the harbor."
I'm surprised you said you don't speak Cantonese but your Cantonese curse words are so well articulated, even I can't do it! 😅😂 But that was freaking hilarious 😂😆😂🤣😅
As someone who lived in Hong Kong for almost a decade. Hong Kongers do have a degree of politeness. The building is IFC, which has the largest Apple store. It's a huge shopping mall in Central.
Wow as a non Cantonese speaker your Cantonese swear words are just like local 😮 impressive!!! Even the tone and accent and i am also surprised of the English speaking taxi driver. Hope u had a good show in Hong Kong🎉
Yes, I went to Hong Kong back in the year of 2009 and guess what?….. I’m experiencing the same…. The Hong Kong people’s manner just like what you’ve described…. Then I never when there again…. Today, it is not as good place as the years was….
very accurate, i just experienced something similar a couple of days ago. the driver was super friendly and polite and then he got quite mad at some drunk people who was holding up the traffic. then when we got off, he reminded us to not leave anything behind and asked us to take our time. he sounded really gentle and genuine lol
Wow my dad grew up in Hong Kong and taught me those exact phrases, dui lay lo mo, seefutlung, pukgei, hum ga chan... I'll leave it to you to look up the translation ha ha

Hong Kong is a complex city right now. We can have a few different types of people, such as real Hongkongers, mainland-born Chinese, local Hong Kong people, and new immigrants. The common wording "Diu Lay", depends on who speaks out this word has different meanings.

Swearing in Cantonese is so ingrained in the Cantonese language that it transcends culture and politeness. It is the language of the street and our collective lives and swearing no longer bothers most of us upon hearing it. We even use curse words as a bonding agent to endear ourselves amongst family and friends.
haha I just went to Hong Kong for vacation and it is really true... but i encountered more polite Hong Kong people there now. It is improving comparing to years years ago 😂😂😂
HK taxi driver my friends and i met are very friendly ~ he shown us alot of sights (to get us distracted from the meter)... and the meter went from like 100+ HKD to 400+HKD for a 10 min trip ~ after my friend's wife paid ... we discussed ... dafuck! he scammed us ... no wonder he was so nice to us. Aren't rude ... just bloody scammer .. and best part was ... My friends and wife been staying and working there for years and speaks Cantonese and still got scammed by these bloody taxi blood sucking drivers~ That's HK for you. Period!~
Me, talking to my friends in english: Height of politeness Me, talking to my friends in canto: Expletive laden dumpster fire, but in the same polite tone
He doesn't speak Cantonese and yet somehow thanks to his photographic memories he's able to memorize all those Cantonese swear words till this day and share his experiences with the world. that's some powerful cuss words!
In the 1980s, London Chinatown was still populated mainly by Hong Kongers. I remember going there with some Hong Kong friends who were shocked by two Hong Kong waiters who were speaking Hakka to each other and seemingly have a loud argument. A friend asked me if I understood Hakka and why they were fighting. As my mum was Hakka, I understood what they were saying and told my friends, oh, they were just having a friendly conversation. Try listening to Hakka people talking to each other and if you don't understand Hakka, you really would think that they were have an argument :)
As a Hong Kongese lady, I must confess, what he said is true. In addition, I will add, we are VERY honest people and if we don't like something but have to be professional or not hurt feelings, we'll just tell you "we're conjuring up some kindness, I'm finding it"
Firsthand experience in HK, got told to alight wayyy before we reach our destination. The old lady driver couldn't even be considerate towards my elderly mother. And didn't return our change either. She told us “下车，下车“ Verrry friendly 🙄
Go to any licensed hotel and you will be greeted with dignity and friendly gestures. Better still, go to any International branded shops and you will be welcomed with royal service, except you will likely have to queue up to wait for your turn to get in.
I doubt the explanation of down town building but tough language is common in taxi driver in HK but not to the extent of what he described. Anyway he is making his audience laughing.
This explains why hundred years ago the revolution army set out from Canton (now called Guangdong). Cantonese soldiers would yell “DLLM” then charge. They eventually beat the warlords.
"beautifully rude" are one of those phrases that i did not expect to be used by someone. And you know what? I am damn proud to be described as that Also, those swears are perfect 👌
I'm delighted to say, that even after 30 years away from my former Singaporean Chinese, cantonese-speaking University mates ... I understood ALL those curses in Cantonese, loud and clear ... no translation or subtitles needed whatsoever. 😂😂😂 I was surprised there was no mention of a dog being involved, among the curses shouted. ^_* - Sei Gwei Lo (aka Ho Lun Churng)

HK taxi driver my friends and i met are very friendly ~ he shown us alot of sights (to get us distracted from the meter)... and the meter went from like 100+ HKD to 400+HKD for a 10 min trip ~ after my friend's wife paid ... we discussed ... dafuck! he scammed us ... no wonder he was so nice to us. Aren't rude ... just bloody scammer .. and best part was ... My friends and wife been staying and working there for years and speaks Cantonese and still got scammed by these bloody taxi blood sucking drivers~ That's HK for you. Period!~
The most funny is not about the storyline of the comedy but jason body language
1:59 "This is the Hong Kong Parliament"
That's words kills me 🤣
Gotta say that cab driver politeness level is 200%. Even translate for you, top notch customer service.
I 101% agree with both hands 🙌 😂
Fr tho, we either politely greet and chat, or swear without any regards whatsoever
I can't stop laughing watching this vid 🤣🤣🤣, well edited 👍👍
As an hong konger the cap driver is so nice that he will even translate for you
I was treated nicely when I attempted Cantonese. I am mainlander
Even when I am not driving, the dude just sticks his head and swears at me for half an hour straight for throwing a cigarette at his car
I’m a hong konger
I agree that drivers are rude
Me, talking to my friends in english: Height of politeness
Me, talking to my friends in canto: Expletive laden dumpster fire, but in the same polite tone
As someone from hk, this happens so much during stoplights, but sometimes i see them making friends and talking about their son in like 30 sec
He even translated for you to understand his anger. 😂
He doesn't speak Cantonese and yet somehow thanks to his photographic memories he's able to memorize all those Cantonese swear words till this day and share his experiences with the world.
that's some powerful cuss words!
I’m afraid of their rudeness but I love Cantonese and I’m proud that I can speak fluent Cantonese. I think Cantonese is rather hilarious.😂
I can never know if it’s mainland Hong Kong or the island.
I'm English but lived in HK for a decade. This guy is spot on.
As a Hong Konger , I have never seen a situation like this it was always very crowded everywhere
In the 1980s, London Chinatown was still populated mainly by Hong Kongers. I remember going there with some Hong Kong friends who were shocked by two Hong Kong waiters who were speaking Hakka to each other and seemingly have a loud argument. A friend asked me if I understood Hakka and why they were fighting. As my mum was Hakka, I understood what they were saying and told my friends, oh, they were just having a friendly conversation. Try listening to Hakka people talking to each other and if you don't understand Hakka, you really would think that they were have an argument :)
I watched this before and yet I can still laugh again!
How many times you watched this?
10 times.
This guy is so naturally funny.
As a Hong Kongese lady, I must confess, what he said is true. In addition, I will add, we are VERY honest people and if we don't like something but have to be professional or not hurt feelings, we'll just tell you "we're conjuring up some kindness, I'm finding it"
other than the "diu na(not nia) sing", you really got all the pronunciation right! The speed and power behind the cusses are juuuuust right
Firsthand experience in HK, got told to alight wayyy before we reach our destination. The old lady driver couldn't even be considerate towards my elderly mother. And didn't return our change either. She told us “下车，下车“ Verrry friendly 🙄
Go to any licensed hotel and you will be greeted with dignity and friendly gestures. Better still, go to any International branded shops and you will be welcomed with royal service, except you will likely have to queue up to wait for your turn to get in.
as an Indonesian, YOU ARE VERY VERY ACCEPTED IN OUR COMEDY WORLD😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Makasih!
Lol. So true. 2 faces, 1 person. Can switch faster than it takes to blink.
I live in hong kong and i feel like every word said always insulting to the other and has a dagger ready to hurt others
I doubt the explanation of down town building but tough language is common in taxi driver in HK but not to the extent of what he described. Anyway he is making his audience laughing.
Fair enough. Stand up show is like this. Just for laugh, not to be too serious.
This explains why hundred years ago the revolution army set out from Canton (now called Guangdong). Cantonese soldiers would yell “DLLM” then charge. They eventually beat the warlords.
As a hong konger this is so true
How about everytime you pay for your stuff, the female cashiers almost never say thank you?? That's very impolite!!
"beautifully rude" are one of those phrases that i did not expect to be used by someone.
And you know what? I am damn proud to be described as that
Also, those swears are perfect 👌
As a guy from hk I can say Cantonese is best to swear so expressive 😂
No fighting, just friendly verbal exchanges 😅
I'm delighted to say, that even after 30 years away from my former Singaporean Chinese, cantonese-speaking University mates ... I understood ALL those curses in Cantonese, loud and clear ... no translation or subtitles needed whatsoever. 😂😂😂
I was surprised there was no mention of a dog being involved, among the curses shouted. ^_*
