This was very useful, thank you very much! "I'll count til three" (and then many bad things will happen!) is a common phrase that also italian parents say a lot!
Thanks Olivia for these Cantonese words! I can finally impress my parents 😂
That's a great motivation! They must be so impressed by your efforts! Keep up the good work! :)

小心 and other phrases you mentioned are often used with an interjection like 啊 and 啦. For example:
小心 啊!
去瞓覺啦!
Some of the phrases you mentioned, if used without an interjection, can sound a little awkward. I think you will do well to point this out to our Cantonese learning friends. :)
That's right! We will go into more details about the final particles in another lesson, that's a lot to cover ;)
I was hoping you would demonstrate jumping up and down on the sofa.
Hello, love your videos. How do you say and spell out phonetically "You have saved the day!" Thanks.
Hmm.. that's not a common sentence to say, but if someone stepped in and did a great help/assistant, we'd say - do1 ze6 sai3 nei5 ge3 bong1 mong4, which is literally "thank you for our help"
Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

唔可以講關電視?
關電視 is written form and would sound unnatural in speech, instead, we say 熄電視.
I always say 唔好嘈喇,好啦,快D啦
😂😂 Yes, those are very common too!
