- Lucas: Hey, welcome back to Learn Cantonese with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Last time we hit the night market and ordered some drinks. That was fun. Lucas: Yeah, we did. And today we're going to do a relaxed review of those phrases so they really stick. Luna: Sounds good. I definitely need the practice. Let's start with the basics. Lucas: Right. So the first phrase we had was 我想飲凍嘢. Let's say it together slowly: 我想飲凍嘢. Luna: 我想飲凍嘢. Lucas: Nice. And that means 'I want to drink something cold.' Luna: Perfect for a hot day at the night market. Lucas: Absolutely. And then, when you decide what you want, you say 一杯橙汁, which is 'a glass of orange juice.' Luna: 一杯橙汁. Okay, got it. Lucas: Good. Now, if you want no ice, you say 走冰. So you can put it together like 一杯橙汁，走冰. Luna: 一杯橙汁，走冰. Lucas: Perfect. And when you're ready to pay, you ask 幾多錢? That's 'how much is it?' Luna: 幾多錢? That's a handy one. Lucas: It is. So a full order might sound like this: 唔該，我想要一杯橙汁，走冰。幾多錢？ Luna: 唔該，我想要一杯橙汁，走冰。幾多錢？ Lucas: Great job. You're already sounding natural. Luna: I feel like I'm getting there. Can we run through a quick scene? Lucas: Let's do it. Imagine we're at the night market, and you're thirsty. Luna: Okay, so I'd walk up to the stall and say, 我想飲凍嘢. 一杯橙汁，走冰。幾多錢？ Lucas: And the vendor might say, 十二蚊。Then you can say 唔該, hand over the money, and you're all set. Luna: That's awesome.
