Anybody that needs help with Cantonese, Mandarin, Taiwanese, etc. words, translations, definitions, pin yin's... Post here!

(I am Chinese and born in Canada and I speak Cantonese but my reading/writing is not that good. I'm trying to improve my reading/writing and also my Mandarin. I thought watching lots of HK dramas would help but it's not that easy.

I'm sure some of you are also like me.)


Anyways, the point of this thread is if you have a question about Chinese, post here and maybe people can help out.



So in cantonese, we say "orr mo gong dai wa" (I am not lying)
How do you say this in mandarin? "wo mei you jiang da hua"? Is there such thing?

Also, in cantonese, the word for this massage is called "gwat sa"
Can someone type this out in chinese characters?

Thanks

^I believe it means something like "my one and only" literal is "only treasure"
