Saying “mum” ❤️ in Cantonese

I remember when I was a kid, whenever I was scared or when I was in need, the first word that came out from my mouth was usually “媽-maa1” (just like how my daughter called me at the end of the clip). Even now, it still happens to me when I’m shocked. It was when I became a mum, that I got to understand how my mum would feel when I was younger. As my mum and I don’t live in the same country, we don’t see each other in person often. So, Mother’s Day is a day not only for a special occasion, but on this day, I also remember those who have lost their mums, those who wanted to be mums, those who are in complicated situations. You’re in my thoughts.

老~💀. Technically not profanity in and of itself xD

You're right! It was common in Chinese classic literature too. But in Cantonese, especially nowadays, it would cause so much misunderstanding with a short clip like this, so I decided to skip this one. 😝
