Ordering drinks in Hong Kong-style restaurants (caa4 caan1 teng1) is very easy. Most of the drinks are abbreviated into a three-word phrase, with the first word describing its temperature (hot: jit6 / cold: dung3) and the last two stating the kind of drink. For example…

jit6 gaa3 fe1 = hot coffee
dung3 naai5 caa4 = cold milk tea

For lemon water and lemon tea, in order to stick to the “three-word rule”, we use ning2 to stand for ning4 mung1 (lemon). So…

jit6 ning2 seoi2 = hot lemon water
dung3 ning2 caa4 = cold lemon tea

As for the other two common drinks, Horlicks and Ovaltine, they are often reduced to two-word phrases when in combination with hot/cold, in order to stick to the “three-word rule”.

hou2 laap6 hak1 = Horlicks
o1 waa4 tin4 = Ovaltine

dung3/jit6 ho1 lik1 (horlick) = cold/hot Horlicks
dung3/jit6 waa4 tin4 = cold/hot Ovaltine

~~~

For cold drinks, it might be good to ask for less or even no ice cube in the drink, especially since the weather has become cooler now! You could add these phrases when ordering your drink.

siu2 bing1 = less ice
zau2 bing1 = no ice

【送氣音 vs 不送氣音】
廣東話入面，送氣音同不送氣音係一個好重要嘅特色。
例如呢兩組聲母 /b, d, g/ 同 /p, t, k/ 響口腔嘅發音位置相同，唔同嘅唯一地方，就係前者屬於不送氣音，而後者屬於送氣音。
當發出「送氣音」時，會有空氣噴出，反而發「不送氣音」嘅時候就冇喇。
除咗呢兩組聲母，你哋仲諗唔諗到其他嘅例子呢？

Aspirated sounds vs Unaspirated sounds
In Cantonese, aspirated sounds and unaspirated sounds demonstrate a special characteristic. For example /b,d,g/ are unaspirated sounds, but /p,t,k/ are aspirated sounds. The main difference between them is that a strong burst of air comes out when one pronounces the latter consonants. Can you think of more examples?

執骨 Zap1 gwat1

執骨，係指將土葬已經腐化淨低嘅骨，攞返出嚟放入金塔度做嘅事。做呢樣嘢主要係因，可能係為風水，又或者需要搬走佢去第二度。呢種風俗喺粵人［廣東、廣西］、福佬人、台灣人、琉球人、同壯族人等嘅東亞族群都見得到嘅。呢啲族群多數都係同百越族有關係，而且古代嘅中原皇朝亦都有文獻記載話百越族有啲類似嘅風俗。

執骨嘅做法，通常喺掘地起咗個墳之後，會喺棺材開一條罅，先疏出臭味，再起天板［棺材板］，然後吩咐在場嘅後人同先人叫一聲［起身喇！］。做完簡單儀式之後，就開始將骸骨由上至下逐執塊上嚟。將骸骨洗乾淨之後，用四至五日曬乾，之後就可以睇後人嘅意願，將骸骨磨成骨灰，或者係放入金塔。

金塔 gam1 taap3
係放死人骨［骨殖］嘅罌，啲骨係死人入土為安之後腐化淨低排骨，而啲骨會執返出嚟，放入去金塔度畀人供奉。

骨灰罌 gwat1 fui1 aang1
係用嚟裝骨灰嘅罌。佢可以用石、陶瓷、金屬或者水晶嚟造嘅。港澳地區骨灰罌嘅設計比較簡單，皆因佢哋會好快放入骨灰龕裏面。其他地方嘅骨灰罌可以裝飾得好靚，因為佢哋會放骨灰罌響屋企。
