EP51 Household Chores in Cantonese | Real Hong Kong Cantonese Listening Practice

Which household chores do you enjoy, and which ones have you been putting off for far too long? In Episode 51 of Bite Size Cantonese, Celia and her husband have a relaxed conversation about household chores in Cantonese. They cover daily and weekly routines, neglected deep cleaning jobs, favourite and disliked chores, laundry, bathroom cleaning, and ironing. You will hear it all through natural Hong Kong Cantonese with Traditional Chinese and English subtitles. As you listen, you’ll learn how to talk about everyday chores such as `洗碗碟` (*sai2 wun2 dip6*; washing dishes), `抹枱` (*maat3 toi2*; wiping the table), `吸塵` (*kap1 can4*; vacuuming), and `抌垃圾` (*dam2 laap6 saap3*; taking out the rubbish). You’ll also hear weekly and occasional jobs such as `洗衫` (*sai2 saam1*; doing the laundry), `換床單` (*wun6 cong4 daan1*; changing the bed sheets), `拖地` (*to1 dei6*; mopping), and `抹窗` (*maat3 coeng1*; cleaning windows). Along the way, Celia and her husband show you how to express which chores you like, dislike, or find satisfying. Listen out for a useful distinction from real conversation between `姿整` (*zi1 zing2*) and `整齊` (*zing2 cai4*).
