50 - to block, stuff [塞: sak1 / sè, sāi, sài] vs [阻止: zo2zi2 / zǔzhǐ] to block, prevent

Learn casual Cantonese and Mandarin for conversational purposes with a nod towards healthcare while mixing in everything else. This episode looks at two different words that share a similar meaning, “to block,” but they’re not interchangeable. If you got a hankering to learn casual Cantonese and Mandarin for conversational purposes (with a nod towards healthcare but talking pretty much about everything else), this channel has podcasts (with accompanying videos for visual cues) to get you on your way to chit chatting, not in the academic setting, but in your face, irl (based on my past work talking with monolingual Canto and Mando speakers). This episode goes into how you might communicate about being blocked (not talking about bowel movements in this video even though that’s relatable). sister video (#19): https://www.youtube.com/user/notnowigottago this podcast (#50): https://soundcloud.com/leslie-frank-643243096 soundtrack: Relax Beat Provided By https://freebeats.io Produced By White Hot

Learn casual Cantonese and Mandarin for conversational purposes with a nod towards healthcare. This episode goes into how you might convince someone not to fuss or worry about something you say is nothing (whether it’s a small scratch or a less-than-superficial gash that you don’t want them to get all dramatic over should you need to see a doc). Plus, there’s a little talk about the 不/bù 4th tone sandhi (sandhi’s help to make the tongue roll smoother when conversing while minding your tones). The Canto part uses traditional characters and jyutping romanization; the Mando part uses simplified characters and pinyin romanization.
