    In Cantonese, sometimes telling the whole truth is not the best option. The South China Morning Post’s Luisa Tam teaches you how to tell white lies in Cantonese from offering words of praise to knowing if your taxi journey destination is really “just around the corner.”

    Can you add the chinese characters to the words you are teaching us? I'm trying to learn Cantonese, speaking and reading. It helps to be literate too. I like they way you teach!

    I get a feeling the Hong Kong government has very much experience in this.

    I can't get it how saying "helping you now" can diffuse a tense situation.

    The CCP-v probably says that they are a friend of freedom in Hong Kong in Cantonese and considers that statement to be what the title describes.

    When u stand before the Lord it won't be "white lie" or "regular lie." it'll be, "you're of your father the devil, for he is the father of all liars and u knew that."
    Edit: either you're a sinner or a saint. If you're a saint u can't be a sinner, and if you're a sinner u can't be saint. There's no way you can be a sinning saint. (1 John 3 nkjv & kjv - all the other versions are as twisted as the author)
