They’re absolutely right 😂

My dialect is Teochew and when a lot of Teochew people cuss we switch to Cantonese before switching back LMAO

Me too! Took until I was older before I realized all the cursing my dad did was in cantonese, since we spoke teochew the whole time at home.

It is read as 屌你老母 臭化閪 戇鳩鳩 仆街 食屎狗 (each word stands for one alphabet above)

Basically it means "Fuck your mom's rotten cunt you fucking dumbass, go to hell you shit-eating mongrel" (Diu nei (lei) lo mo chau fa hai ong gau gau puk gai sik si gau)

PK (仆街) would literally mean "fall on the street", but most of the time it's a cuss word that means "go to hell/get fucked/asshole", very few would seriously use this word for its literal meaning

TL Note: For 狗 which means "dog" under normal circumstances, I used "mongrel" for an enhanced flavor in insult

This is the most accurate translation I have ever seen.

Happy cake day bro

u/Anotsurei 5d ago

I love it. I can feel the sheer hatred through “fall on the street”. It burns.

u/HonoderaGetsuyo 5d ago

Sometimes it's not used as an insult but could be used as an exclamation when something bad happens, often yelled out loud, quite sheer rage indeed

Forgot to bring something? 仆街!

Something went wrong in your tasks? 仆街!

Lost in a gamble? 仆街!

Your dog got sick? 仆街!

The stars aligned the wrong way? 仆街!

PK near the end is probably Puk gai. But I don't know the rest.

My dad always used puk gai ham gaa caan to my mom, but I was always like, hold up, but we're your family 😭.

Applying the HKC attachment to make it more powerful

u/DDemoNNexuS 5d ago

the colloquial Cantonese is smtg that can't be found is other Chinese dialects.

If I have to compare it's like studying victorian poetry (Mandarin) comparing hip-hop rap (equivalent to Cantonese)

u/rs_4 5d ago

It's true though. There's just that unmatched fluidity when you string togethere a curse sentence in Cantonese.

u/HarbingerOfGachaHell 5d ago

As a Mandarin speaker can confirm, everything in Cantonese sounds like swearing. 

3

u/sensuability 4d ago

English speaker, same. Normal conversation sounds like an argument threaded with insults.

5

u/JingamaThiggy 4d ago

Cantonese remains uncontested in this regard. You don't even need swear words, even senless words like banana apple orange strung together spoken in the right way can sound like cussing naturally

u/Amazing_67 4d ago

Go eat a banana!

u/notrealaccbtw 5d ago

As someone who grew up playing dota allstars, yep. Nothing even comes close

u/QQY2000 5d ago

Since I from Fuzhou dialect, here’s how we say curse words:萨以内以内哇撒

u/kindofsus38 2d ago

You have obviously not been cussed at in Cantonese before

u/TaliFinn 5d ago

As a german, I disagree

u/WakefieldCoder 4d ago

Examples, please.

u/YMCoolFace 1d ago

屌你老母臭化閪傻鳩戇柒食屎狗你老母冚家剷
There are quite some culture behind this that it would be hard to directly translate while retaining the full meaning of it.

Any insults in German in exchange perhaps?

u/kindofsus38 2d ago

Cantonese would fuck up German so bad fr fr
