title: four phrases means alot to them.
A day where your mother tongue got twisted into chinese itself made the 40 bucks worthwhile. Why? You get satisfying nods and smiles which shows appreciation and thank you for the effort somone did in a save-the- earth event which was infested with old uncles and aunties.
(Ah pro, direct translation.)
"Man man lai." = Slowly slowly.
"Auntie/Uncle, ni yao colour mah?" = Auntie/Uncle, you want to colour?
"Auntie/Uncle, kong xi kong xi." = Auntie/Uncle, congrats congrats.
"Auntie/Uncle, ni qer yi mah?" = Auntie/Uncle, you can or not?
