Hi everyone, welcome back to Fluent Manico, the series that takes you from absolute beginner to fluent in Cantonese. This is lesson seven. In today's lesson, we are doing a translation style quiz to review some of the interrogative pronouns we learned last time. Here's how it works. I'll ask a question in Cantonese. Your job is to figure out what it's asking. Take your time, think about it, and then I'll tell you the answer. Let's begin. First question Ne dim gai ho chu si ne dim gai ho chu si ho means to go. Chu si means supermarket. Ne dim gai ho chu si. What is the question asking? Is it asking how do you get to the supermarket?
