Lesson 185: (LOST IN TRANSLATION) 1. 小器 / 小氣

[@seasidejoe9037]

Another great lesson Amanda. Thank you. Could we get maybe a video on stress and relax? “I am stressed” “holidays with family is stressful”. “This vacation is so relaxing” for examples. Just an idea.

[@5minutecantonese]

I will definitely consider! Stay tuned!

Really appreciate of your effort in making such a great video. I am living in HK, and has been trying to learn to speak Cantonese, but not successful so far.

Thank you Amanda for this great lesson, i think this new series is a great idea and I enjoy the dialogue examples you give ! Now i'm going to watch 食神 one more time and think whether the abbot is 小器 or not 😁

[@5minutecantonese]

Thank you so much!

[@somaticscholar8441]

小器 is basically "petty", making you pout

[@5minutecantonese]

Yes! Thank you very much! This is the best translation.👍🏻 Just in the Cantonese version, it doesn't mean stingy or less important.

[@OffeJ83]

ooh so interesting. Yeah does seem hard to translate. Seems like it means "to hold a grudge" or be "petty".

[@5minutecantonese]

This is not easy to translate. We use it very often.

[@dalichan6875]

The word “petty” is an excellent translation of the Cantonese expression “siu2 hei3.” I’m an ABC (American-born Chinese) with parents from Hong Kong.
