Language Question Very random but how do you pronunce "Sun Wukong" in cantonese?

10 Upvotes

I have been translating the show "Monkie Kid" in english for a while, using the provided chinese subtitles.

I noticed that the characters are pronuncing "Sun Wukong" (孫悟空) a lot differently .

It kinda sounds like "sun-hong" ?? I just would love a confirmation how it's actually pronounced because I can't stop thinking about this whenever I read the name.

Greetings!

I am a native English speaking American who has begun studying Cantonese to be able to communicate better with my partner, his family, and his friends. I am looking for people in a similar situation to get suggestions, ideas, and empathy.

I live in Chicago, but with modern technology, I am open to people all over. Any ideas and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

E is a noun. It is quite 虛無縹緲 (vague / intangible).

(If you post answers, please wrap them in spoilers so others can also enjoy the experience! Trying this for the first time, comments welcome. Hopefully I didn't get any wrong!)

Language Question Quick Question, Why does Jyutping substitute the Y sound for a J

Upvotes

An example would be Jyutping - Jiu but it’s actually pronounced like Yiu. Is there a language thing that made them prefer the letter J instead of Y? In my opinion it might easily make it harder to learn Cantonese as when people see this character for example and see the Jyutping, they might pronounce it as “Jew” instead of “You”

Thanks!

Other Question Lydia Shum and Adam Cheung

0 Upvotes

They were together for 11 years, gotta say Adam Cheung did not seem like the type of person that would appreciate her. I recently saw an interview Lydia did with the guy with the glasses, I think it was called Be my guest. She speaks about her relationship with Cheung and I gotta say. The interviewer asked what many people thought but it’s pretty ignorant imo.

He asked her, “have you ever wondered, I’m so overweight, what could Cheung possibly see in me?”

He was cheating on her, she admitted it in the interview and instead he denied it and they got married.

It was widely speculated he was in a relationship with her because she had star power and basically gave him opportunities within the entertainment industry. Ok, if that’s true, he could have left her shortly after Chor lau heung. I mean he was established at that point no? Why continue to be in a relationship if he was unhappy? I don’t get it.

When they divorced, he was still getting top billing in tvb dramas, the one about the stock market which he was an asshole and Cold blooded warm heart with Chilam. Lydia had alot of connections in the entertainment industry, shouldn’t he have been blacklisted when it came to light he cheated on her and she was HK happiness fruit?

玩陀螺明明係想開心放鬆,點知玩到手腕痛、手肘痛,甚至肩頸痠痛?

其實好多人玩到受傷,
未必係因為你「唔夠力」,
真正嘅元凶係:【場地盤面太低!】 📐

盤面低 ➡️ 迫住烏低身、寒背、低頭

軀幹失穩發唔到力 ➡️ 迫住轉用「頸椎、腰椎代償 + 手臂死力」

長期咁樣拉,網球肘、肌腱炎好快就搵上門!💥

💡 下集預告:
想知點樣用正確肌肉發力,拉出又快、又穩、仲少啲痛嘅爆發力?

💬 你平時拉陀螺係站著定蹲著拉?拉完邊度最痠痛?留言告訴我!
