Cantonese usage example

@Kc kennylau So, Cantonese transliteration now works automatically? Great news! Wouldn't 嘥 work better than 笑 - not "ridicule" but "debase", "humiliate"? Pls don't forget to synchronise simplified entries. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 05:33, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

@Atitarev According to my knowledge, 嘥 means to waste. Sorry for forgetting to synchronize. --kc_kennylau (talk) 05:34, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

(Before E/C) BTW, Jyutping should never be capitalised and shouldn't have hyphens to link syllables into words (as you did before). It's not standard, I think.

Do you consider "唔準" one word in Cantonese? 不准 is a word in Mandarin, so maybe there shouldn't be a space? I couldn't find it in the dictionary, perhaps it's identical to 不准. Also, is 調類 one word or two words in Chinese?

(After E/C) According to [1] it has other meanings. Do you disagree? --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 05:40, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

@Atitarev There are two similar characters in pronunciation and orthography in Chinese: 准 and 準. Both are traditional characters. The first one is allocated with the sense of "permission" and the second one is allocated with the sense of "accuracy". 唔準 (Mandarin: 不準) means inaccurate, not SOP in English but a SOP in Chinese. 唔准 (Mandarin: 不准) means "don't" (Don't stand on a chair), and I don't know if it is a SOP in Chinese. --kc_kennylau (talk) 16:54, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
