Cantonese Review 2 - George 冇可樂。(mou5 ho2 lok6)

Video link: https://youtu.be/FxnwhAkLDwo

The principle sentence used in this video is: 

Martha   jau5 ho2lok6。ngo5 mou5 zi1 si2.
Martha 有    可樂。  我 冇 芝 士。

Martha         has      Coca cola.   I don't have cheese.


Other expressions used in this class and video:

jau5 mou5 = literally "have + not have" (marking a yes/no question)
ge3 = possessive marker such as in George ge3 gau2 "George's dog"
keui5 = him/her

Other things possessed in this lesson:
maau1 - cat
man6 tai4 - problem or question

Note: I used man6 tai4 in the class but have changed it because it meant something more serious in the context of George jau5 man6 tai4. But George jau5 jat1 go3 man6 tai4 is a bit different. Man6 tai4 is also used by teachers asking students if they have any questions about class.


For the pronunciation of the numbers and the six tones together, please see the previous video at https://youtu.be/Xfq0V3D06Zk
