They are all Cantonese but about 3 of them that you listed (how are you, fine, and the last "thank you") are fairly close to what it sounds like in Mandarin.

Now we are all ready for that Rams China game. I would honestly prefer going to a UK or even a LA Rams game before I even consider China though... :lol: Never been but not on the list of my favorite country/people to visit per se... :twisted:

Will, I bow to your excellence on the Cantonese/Mandarin hot button issue. You, sir, truly know what you are talking about. I just pretend. I will now go back to the only language that I truly excel at...Klingon.
