Freerider 呢個詞有兩個 r,可唔可以當 r 係粵語嘅音?

TLDR: 掃到最底你就知 — 話說最近有首歌叫 freerider⋯⋯ 不過首歌同今次個post係無關嘅。 我知道好多人期待我俾個簡單嘅答案,一個 yes 或者 no。不過呢個問題並唔係咁簡單。首先我俾兩個例子你哋。 想像一班喺香港讀國際學校,講英文嘅人。佢哋唔識粵語,住嘅地方看更都識講英文,不過佢哋學識咗一個粵語詞,「靚仔」。佢哋係英文嘅單語話者,但係講「靚仔」嘅時候,就算啲發音鬼鬼哋,都唔會講做「𡃁仔」,因為高音咗對方就聽唔明。某程度上佢哋因為一個詞,令佢哋產出到一種聲調嘅差異。 …

Why you should stop sharing these infographics about Cantonese history and obscure characters

Cantonese is the very core of Hongkongers’ cultural identity and it is just natural for Hongkongers to feel pride in their mother tongue. Despite the unwavering sense of belonging to the language, the public seems to lack meta-linguistic and historical knowledge about the language, as reflected in the low coverage…

Google Sheets 示範客家話拼音數字轉調號

用 RegexReplace,ArrayFormula,TextJoin,一條公式搞掂客家話拼音數字轉調號 — 厓今下學客家話,愛整理下客家話嘅字音分自家用。今日做嗨一隻 Google Sheets 去將數字換做調號(diacritics),所以寫隻文章,講下吾嘅解決方法。 呢排我學緊客家話,遇到一個問題:啲詞語可以用漢字去寫,但係記字音要用拼音,由於有啲變調規則,用數字唔係咁直觀,轉做調號會睇得方便啲。香港客家話嘅調係噉樣嘅(略過變調規則): 例子 【廣州話】「 …

連新加坡人都開始睇得起自己,香港人就繼續崇拜歐洲口音

港台抽起LMF訪問,覺得內容唔夠 decent,大家隨即挖出MC仁用流利法文接受訪問嘅片段,指出佢一口法文,比起廣播處長更加 decent。
