DDHK. ORG – Hong Kong currency has many denominations. Money can not be separated from everyday life. As medium of exchange or payment for goods and services, money is owned by almost all humans on earth.
Money is also a measure of wealth and is another valuable asset. Money is also what differentiates one country from another, with different exchange rates.
Well, since each country has its own currency, so does it in Hong Kong, so it's time to get to know the vocabulary of deep money Cantonese. Let's see.
Dollars: Man
Tens : Sap
Tens of thousands: Man
Hundreds : Sir
Receipt: Sanci
Thousands: Jin
Rupiah : Tun
Mon : Hockey
Money : Jin
Here's an example of mention:
$10 = sap man
$100 = yes sir man
$50 = em sap man
$1000 = yat jin man
$125 = yat sir yi sap em man
If there is a penny;
10 cents = yat hoci
20 cents = yi hoci
50 cents = em hoci / even hoci
$100,10 cents = yat sir ho yat
$50 cents = em sap ho em
That was about money vocabulary in Cantonese. Hope this helps in communicating in Hong Kong.
