Language Tip: Expressing Emotions in Cantonese

In Cantonese, the word order for expressing emotions is reversed compared to English. Instead of saying “I am happy,” you would say “我開心 (ngo5 hoi1 sam1)”, which directly translates to “I happy.” Remember this order when talking about emotions in Cantonese!
