Wizard’s Wisdom: Job Titles Matter

In Cantonese, when addressing someone in a work setting, it’s important to use the appropriate job title to show respect. For example, instead of just saying ‘Mr. Chan,’ you should use ‘Chan Sir’ (陳先生) or ‘Chan Tai’ (陳師傅) depending on the person’s occupation. This cultural etiquette is crucial in Cantonese-speaking workplaces.
