Cantonese Survival Phrases Lesson 6. Toilet. In today’s lesson we will cover an extremely important phrase: where is the bathroom? In Cantonese, where the bathroom is is 廁所喺邊(ci3 so2 hai2 bin1), 廁所喺邊(ci3 so2 hai2 bin1). Let’s break it down by the syllable 廁所喺邊(ci3 so2 hai2 bin1). Now the first tone 廁(ci3) is a medium flat tone. 廁(ci3) The second is a rising tone 所(so2 ) followed by 喺(hai2) also a rising tone 喺 邊(hai2 bin1) high flat tone 邊(bin1 ) and together it sounds like 廁所喺邊(ci3 so2 hai2 bin1), 廁所喺邊(ci3 so2 hai2 bin1). Now let’s take a closer look at this sentence: 廁所(ci3 so2) is toilet. 廁所(ci3 so2) toilet. 喺(hai2) be 喺(hai2) be or in this case is.邊(bin1) is where 邊(bin1) is where. You also hear people say 邊度(bin1 dou6) where 邊度(bin1 dou6) where. Both mean the same where. I’m sure you prefer the shorter 邊(bin1). So together the sentence sounds like 廁所喺邊(ci3 so2 hai2 bin1) toilet is where. Note the word order in Cantonese, it’s toilet where. It is exactly the opposite of the English word order. It is the opposite of the English word order. In English: It’s where is the toilet. In Cantonese it means the toilet is where.廁所喺邊(ci3 so2 hai2 bin1) In this sentence we also learn a very useful expression which is 喺邊(hai2 bin1). This is the second half of the sentence where 喺邊(hai2 bin1) is.

Now if you want to ask where something is, you can just say 喺邊(hai2 bin1). With the context, people understand what you’re asking 喺邊(hai2 bin1). That’s where. Now if you want to sound more formal when you ask where the bathroom is, you might want to say 洗手間(sai2 sau2 gaan1) instead of toilet 廁所(ci3 so2). Now if you want to sound more formal when asking where the bathroom is, you can replace 廁所(ci3 so2) with 洗手間(sai2 sau2 gaan1), which literally means bathroom. 廁所(ci3 so2) is a toilet rather than a bathroom. So where is the bathroom is 洗手間喺邊 (sai2 sau2 gaan1 hai2 bin1). Now let’s break this down: 洗手間(sai2 sau2 gaan1), 喺邊(hai2 bin1). Well, the first half of the sentence 洗手間(sai2 sau2 gaan1) literally means the place to wash your hands, but it is more than the 洗手間(sai2 sau2 gaan1) bathroom. 喺邊(hai2 bin1) is something that we just learned is where. So together it is 洗手間喺邊 (sai2 sau2 gaan1 hai2 bin1) bathroom is where. This is a formal and polite way of asking where the bathroom is. 洗手間 喺邊 (sai2 sau2 gaan1 hai2 bin1) or you may hear people say 洗手間 喺邊度 (sai2 sau2 gaan1 hai2 bin1 dou6). Both work, but I recommend a simpler and shorter way of saying this: 洗手間 喺邊 (sai2 sau2 gaan1 hai2 bin1),洗手間 喺邊 (sai2 sau2 gaan1 hai2 bin1) . Now, when you finally reach the bathroom, there may be one final hurdle. Sometimes only Chinese characters are written on the doors. What to do! What to do! Well, calm down. With us you always get the simplest and fastest solution. The male figure 男(naam4) has more strokes and the female figure 女(neoi5) has fewer strokes. So just compare the two words and see which one is more complex and which one isn’t. I’m sure you won’t walk in the wrong door this way, unless on purpose.

Well, another way to prepare for this is to drop by our site and find the words for males and females. You can find them in the PDF or if you have an iPod click the middle button and you can find them there. The words for men are 男(naam4), 男(naam4). It’s lowest tone is 男(naam4) and the word for women is 女(neoi5) . It is a low rising tone 女(neoi5), 男(naam4) men, 女(neoi5) women.

Okay, now when traveling there might not be that many public restrooms to use. This means your best bet is to stop at either a cafe or restaurant to use their restrooms. Understandably, cafe owners aren’t very keen on people dropping by just to use their restroom. So, to be polite, you could buy a bottle of water or order a coffee before asking 唔該(m4 goi1), 可唔可以借(ho2 m4 ho2 ji5 ze3) , 洗手間(sai2 sau2 gaan1) . The last sentence means, sorry, can I borrow the bathroom?唔該(m4 goi1), 可唔可以借(ho2 m4 ho2 ji5 ze3) , 洗手間(sai2 sau2 gaan1). sorry, can i borrow the bathroom or not? Let’s repeat this sentence again.唔該(m4 goi1), 可唔可以借(ho2 m4 ho2 ji5 ze3) , 洗手間(sai2 sau2 gaan1).唔該(m4 goi1) is the expression we learned a few times . It can mean thank you, please or sorry. In this case, of course, sorry.唔該(m4 goi1) followed by 可唔可以(ho2 m4 ho2 ji5) may or may not.可唔可以(ho2 m4 ho2 ji5) may or may not. Well, that’s a typical Cantonese question to ask or ask. It actually asks if I or can you or someone can.可唔可以(ho2 m4 ho2 ji5), 可唔可以(ho2 m4 ho2 ji5) may or may not be followed by 借(ze3). This is a verb for borrowing 借(ze3). It’s a medium flat tone. 借(ze3) means to borrow. 可唔可以借(ho2 m4 ho2 ji5 ze3) Can I borrow? 洗手間(sai2 sau2 gaan1) That’s the word we just learned, bathroom or the place , on which you wash your hands.洗手間(sai2 sau2 gaan1), 洗手間(sai2 sau2 gaan1) So the whole question sounds like this 唔該(m4 goi1) sorry, 可唔可以借 洗手間(ho2 m4 ho2 ji5 ze3 sai2 sau2 gaan1 ) Can I borrow the bathroom or Can I borrow the bathroom?可唔可以借 洗手間(ho2 m4 ho2 ji5 ze3 sai2 sau2 gaan1 ). So far we’ve learned a few phrases. Let’s do a quick recap. The simplest and easiest way to ask where the toilet is 廁所喺邊(ci3 so2 hai2 bin1), 廁所喺邊(ci3 so2 hai2 bin1) and a more formal and polite way is 洗手間 喺邊 (sai2 sau2 gaan1 hai2 bin1). ) Bathroom is where 洗手間 喺邊 (sai2 sau2 gaan1 hai2 bin1) and then we learned the word for men 男(naam4) and the word for women 女(neoi5) and finally we learned the sentence, sorry, can I borrow the bathroom唔該(m4 goi1), 可唔可以借(ho2 m4 ho2 ji5 ze3) , 洗手間(sai2 sau2 gaan1).

Very interesting article. It is good to note that one size does not fit all. There are so many reasons for a daily bath – which can be done in a number of ways, by the way – taking a bath, showering, filling a container or bucket, using soap/not using soap, using/not using a sponge. Of course there are soaps and shampoos that are harsh and degreasing the skin, you don’t have to opt for these, there are much milder skin cleansers that could be made from natural products. So:

-Use a bucket, for example, to reduce water wastage.

– Use mild natural cleansers and apply natural oils to keep skin moisturized.

-Water over your body literally brings you to life and relaxes you at the same time. (Most will happily feel this every day)

-By daily cleaning, dead skin cells are removed and your skin can “breathe”.

-The skin is one of the organs of elimination, so I think we should clean it regularly (with the right things).

– Daily washing and moisturizing improves blood circulation in the skin.

– Smelling good boosts your confidence and relationships, which impacts your mental health and well-being.

When it comes to traveling to a new place, you’re probably looking forward to learning a new language, eating a variety of new foods, and experiencing a completely different environment than what you’re used to. One of the things that seems to vary the most is the restrooms.

Toilets as familiar to US citizens are not the norm around the world. Even sitting on the china throne isn’t always the norm — 15% of the world’s population practices open defecation, according to World Toilet, which means they go to the bathroom in fields, forests, or other available outdoor space.

Knowing what to expect makes all the difference and allows you to prepare when traveling to a new place. Here are some of the differences in bathrooms around the world.

There are many aspects of our daily lives that affect our culture as a whole: our cooking habits, likes and dislikes of music, and even our toilet paper use. While it’s hard for us in America to comprehend, there are some countries that actually don’t use toilet paper after going number 1 or number 2. For most of us, this can be a bit surprising – how do people clean themselves after using the bathroom? If you intend to travel the world, you might want to bring some travel toilet paper!

It can be difficult for us to understand that other cultures have different choices when it comes to bathroom culture and it is even more difficult for us to integrate them as they are not common to us. As different as their customs may be in other countries, it is important for us to honor and respect their way of life. It is also important to remember that all of these decisions have to do with a great historical background that influences our habits to this day. It’s also important to understand that these changes are part of the culture shock: you have to embrace them.

Paper, water or hand?

If other countries don’t use toilet paper to clean themselves, what do they use instead? For many cultures, bathroom habits are based on what was available rather than what is easy. The washroom, which is indispensable for many cultures, is a container with water. Instead of wiping, they rinse themselves clean by pouring water over a bowl or even a hole.

In other cultures, it is common to cook, eat, and greet with only your right hand. This happens because the left hand is used specifically for using the bathroom. In these countries, you must never greet anyone with your left hand as it can come across as impolite, impolite or even disgusting. There are countries where toilet paper is available, but the usual preference is to take a jug of water with you to the toilet. If you’ve ever taken a trip to India, you might have noticed this seemingly bizarre habit. While Indians have adapted to toilet paper culture, many prefer to use water instead.

These habits are less likely in America, unless perhaps you’re camping in the woods, at a rest stop that’s out of toilet paper, or you have parents and grandparents who are from a country whose culture has different practices. However, if you plan to explore other countries, especially countries without modern sanitation systems, preparing ahead of time by bringing some travel toilet paper with you can save you a lot of confusion and stress.

Which countries don’t use toilet paper?

When visiting another country, it’s polite to find out about their customs before arriving so you don’t inadvertently offend or embarrass the locals. Studying a culture also helps you assimilate and gives you a deeper, more enriching experience. If you are planning to visit any of the following countries, you should consider bringing a roll of toilet paper with you for your travels.

India: Tourists are often surprised to learn that toilet paper is not readily available here. While you can find toilet paper in hotels and some shops at tourist attractions, most households and public places don’t stock it. People of this culture use water to clean themselves when necessary.

China, Singapore, Thailand, Korea and Taiwan: In most Asian countries, it is very difficult to find toilet paper, even in stores. Some hotels may have it available in the rooms. If you must use it, it’s probably good for you to take your own to guarantee your supply. Considering that toilet paper originated in China, it’s very odd that it’s not exactly popular there.

Some of these Asian countries have a toilet bowl on the floor for you to go about your business. Some studies suggest that your bathroom activities are healthier and easier if you squat, as this position is more natural for the body. So if you ever visit any of these countries, be prepared as you will likely need to crouch and work your leg muscles to use the washroom.

France, Portugal, Italy, Japan, Argentina, Venezuela and Spain: Instead of toilet paper, people from these countries (mostly from Europe) usually have a bidet in the washroom. A bidet like a toilet, but also with a spout that pours water like a fountain to rinse you clean. You will probably find bidets in the hotels and in people’s homes. Some bidets are separate from the toilet, while others have a toilet and bidet in one. It is also common for people to use neutral soap with a bidet and make sure they are clean after using the toilet.

Major European Cities: In major European cities, you usually have to pay to use a public toilet or even access toilet paper. This happens because some people are working to keep this service clean and usable. It is also important that you consider tipping the person responsible for this maintenance service.

Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt and Jordan: These countries also use water for their cleaning needs while in the washroom, although the “toilet” isn’t so much a toilet as more a “hole” in the floor. Much like the people of Asian cultures, you have to crouch over the hole. They consider this option to be much safer, healthier and more hygienic because you don’t have to touch the toilet where many others have been before you. Some houses have a small shower with running water for rinsing. However, most houses don’t have running water, so they have mugs and cups that stay in the toilet if someone needs them.

Why America Uses Toilet Paper

The United States is the world leader in the use of toilet paper. Almost every American uses a few yards of toilet paper in their daily life. Every American bathroom and public restroom (hopefully) has toilet paper on hand. However, this is not the case in every country in the world. We explore the countries that don’t use toilet paper and w However, if you intend to travel the world, you need to understand how these habits work everywhere else when you visit these countries.

If you use toilet paper around your home a lot, it’s probably because you grew up in a society that does the same. In America, we use toilet paper for our hygiene, like cleaning up after using the toilet, cleaning and cleaning our noses, and more. Toilet paper is cheap, useful and practical in our culture. However, there are some theories about the effectiveness of toilet paper. There are people who claim that toilet paper is not a very “clean” option.

Some professionals say toilet paper can be a little inefficient, mostly when it comes to number two.

According to their studies, many people still have some traces of feces on their body even after a “thorough” cleaning with toilet paper. They also point out that some medical conditions like hemorrhoids or infections can occur due to the improper use of toilet paper. However, our culture is very used to using toilet paper and we are less likely to change our washroom habits.
