      It means Delay No More. So you're telling someone to hurry up, right? :)

      It's the main dialect in Hong Kong. You can come here visit HK if you really want to learn Cantonese.

    The subtitles are so random at one point it said Dons and Dina Store. I know it’s automatic but like what? 😆

      its not accurate and most people talk sometimes with slangs or stuff and the bot just translates basic sentences or words

    • @okokok1178
      @okokok1178 Před 4 lety +1
