I saw frontliners lining up for mystery dark liquid bowls at Sham Shui Po when all other stuff was closed during a protest. And there appear to be whole stores dedicated to selling it in the MTR. What power-up am I missing out on?
Normally I'd just try one at random but I'm afraid of durian 2.0
Mm faa caa (five flower tea) is the standard go-to and tastes quite good! It has an anti-inflammatory effect and helps when your body has accumulated too much heat
Also leverages my knowledge of how to say "5", from the five demands! Lots of reasons to favor this tea. Thank you!
Have you spent any time poking at the Cantonese romanization systems? Yale romanization for this is "nǵh fā chàh." There are "only" about 2000 phonemes in Cantonese (and 650 syllables discounting tones). Also, I really, really dislike lèuhng chàh. https://www.nathanhammond.com/tmp/cantonese.html …
The romanization systems I've looked (Yale and Jyutping) both seem awful. Why can't there be a pinyin-type thing with six tonal marks? I assume there's some deep reason that prevented it
As a native English speaker Yale is remarkably comfortable for me. Then again, I spend four hours a day studying using it as a tool. Six tonal marks starts to reach information overload over one syllable—and requires custom fonts. Combining diacritics makes Yale painless.
I also think we ended up here because of path dependence regarding technology at the time. Moreover, tone shapes are too similar (three level tones, two rising tones) which makes the decision of how to represent them hard. Bad typesetting? Now you're insulting somebody.
There's no need for the diacritic to reflect the contour of the tone. This would have worked: é ē è ë ê ę
Then again, never take advice from a Polish guy about writing systems
