In Viet:
hotel=khách sạn
bathroom=nhà cầu, cầu tiêu, phòng vệ sinh, phòng tắm. The first three specifically refer to the place where you can take a leak or dump and there might be a shower there. Phòng tắm specifically means the place you can shower or bathe and it might have a john.
airport=phi trường or sây bay
hello=chào
taxi=taxiHow do you say, ';hotel, bathroom, airport, hello, and taxi,'; in Hong Kong and Vietnamese?
Cantonese, the language (Chinese dialect) spoken in Hong Kong has 9 tones, so it's hard for me to type you the correct pronouciations for each word... If you are planning to visit to Hong Kong, I don't think you'll need to learn how to say those words, simply because most people in Hong Kong expect tourists to speak English, anyway.
hotel = Tsao (up) din (low)
bathroom = chi (low) so (up)
airport = gay cheong (low)
hello = nei (up) ho (up)
taxi = dik (down) sea (up)
When need a help, just say ';m goi'; to get an attention.
where = bing do (low)
is = hai (low)
Excuse me, where can I find a bathroom?
A Cantonese speaker would simply say ';m goi, chi so hai bing do ah?';How do you say, ';hotel, bathroom, airport, hello, and taxi,'; in Hong Kong and Vietnamese?
In Hong Kong
Hello - Ni hao promounced (nee how)
Taxi - Dik si pronounced (Dick See)
Where is the bathroom Cesuo zai nar pronounced( chir zwo zai nar)
That's all I know :)
