Let's learn to count in Cantonese! Numbers are essential for shopping, telling time, and everyday conversations. Pay attention to the tones, they're important!
I want one cup of tea
two
Where is the second floor?
three
Excuse me, three egg tarts please
four
My family has four people
Cultural tip: The number 四 sounds similar to “death” 死 in Cantonese, so it's considered unlucky. You'll rarely see floor 4 in Hong Kong buildings!
