Thanks Phil.

At best I can recognize a few terms, and then only if offered adequate context. So the answer is a resounding no. The vermilion horse probably gave me away, LOL. It is fun to poke at though. The language, that is, not the horse.

Phil is correct and a linguistic marvel.

Thanks yylee! So then how does one say "compact body" in Cantonese?

personally I prefer "Duen Kiu Jark Ma".

come to think of it again, there is no direct translation for compact body. You may try "San Faat Siu Hau" where "Siu Hau" is small and smart. San Faat is the body method.

Bettaa reminds me of a NY accent and that makes me feel bettaa.
