2nd one means annoying or time consuming. Something along the lines of that.

1st one means don't don't make a racket

Context would help, but stanley's interpretations could be correct although I feel its a little stretched to make it work.

My first reaction to the second one was something to do with chicken rice.

If you change the phonetics of the 3rd phrase it could mean:

(Ngo hoi tsi dui kui yao ho feeling)
I am starting to have good feelings about him/her.

I'm probably wrong though because I've never heard anyone say it like that. Just my stab in the dark.

i think 1st one means "i didn't make a mistake"
"Wanna join my [combo] clan?" "We play turret d competitively"

Thanks!


i guess the first one supposed to be pronounced as ngo mo gow cho?

if that is then

1. I'm not mistaken.
2. It's annoying
3. The feeling for him/her was really strong in the beginning. ( as in admiring the person)

1st line: I think the person is saying "I did not make a mistake"
2nd line: so annoying/so frustrating... person may refer to a person or the situation
3rd line: I'm starting to have strong feelings towards him/her

1st line: dont think it makes sense but if you were to fix it imo the most common would be

"yao mo gaw cho" means "wtf"

edit - and yeah, "lay yao mo gow chor" makes more sense.
literally = "have you been mistaken?" or "did you make a mistake?"
meaning = "are you kidding me?"

mo gow chor sounds better, idk why theres an extra mo. = no mistake.
ma gwy fan = annoying/irritating.
au hoy = i/me sounding. i have no idea what this means, the pronounciation, at least to me, is WAYYYYY off. chi doy can also mean late/lateness.

I think it would really help if you also gave us some context to work with.

Heres the word by word breakdown:

1) "gow chor" = Mistake. "mo" = no. "mo gow chor" - didnt make a mistake.
"mo....! mo gow chor!" would be repeating "mo" for emphasis, so: "no, i didnt make a mistake." Usually people don't say "mo mo gaow chor", i cant really think of a context where this would come up normally.

2) "ma fan" = annoying, "gwy" (literally: ghost) in slang use indicates increasing degree, Depending on the tone and stress of the sentance, it would land somewhere between "its very annoying" and "its fucking annoying." Note: its not as rude as "fucking", but its not exactly mannered. Like "fucking", it doesn't make sense literally but does when you use it that way.

3)
"au" = (ngor) = me, the self
"hoy chi" = begin, begin to
"doy" = towards, in context of this sentence it would mean "for" as in "i have feelings FOR someone"
"koy" = (kui) = him/her, is a gender neutral term to indicate 3rd party
"yow" = (yao) = to have
"hao" = not too sure, but if its (hou), pronounced like "hoe" then = good
FEELING = ....self explanatory

@gir
lay day ho chun

mo ye gong jao sau pei lar, on9 jai (lol j/k, just fucking with you/dont really mean it)

:p trolling in canto here XD imho the best language to troll in

you mei you gao cuo?

the first line is basically a common used phrase. equivalent to
"Are you fucking serious?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Fucking hell, dude"

Can't make out the rest.

it's so hard to figure out what you guys are saying because I have to try sounding out what you are writing in like 3 or 4 different tones/inflections and see which ones make sense hahaha
