Had been listening to some funny clips from hongkong radio recently, taken from ChengYew. Seriously damn funny, the way the host and his crews talk and laugh really makes me crazy and totally forgot about the existence of my final examination which is around the corner. This is also another way to release stress other than DotA and HON. Muahaha~ and the title is 笑谈广东话.
Example_26 :
Whenever u have to do something which is very very very urgent but u got no guts to do it at all, u may use - 几大几大,沙蟹就沙蟹啊~ to encourage yourself. Well, this sentence comes from the chinese traditional game - 鱼虾蟹. There was once a guy, placed his bets on the 蟹(crab) for 10 rounds, but end up losing all. Everyone's laughing at him but at the 11th round, he still stubbornly placed his bet on the crab, saying 几大几大,沙蟹就沙蟹啊~ to encourage himself.
This sentence can be applied in our daily life too. For instance, when u saw someone who looks like David Beckham walking on the street and u wanted to call him so badly but u are not brave enough, u can tell 几大几大,沙蟹就沙蟹啊 to yourself and shout his name. However, he does not respond and then u think that he may be Taylor Lautner, do not afraid and tell 几大几大,沙蟹就沙蟹啊 to yourself again and shout for his name. He does not respond as well and this time u might tell yourself that he's the President of USA Barack Obama, you can encourage yourself by saying 几大几大,沙蟹就沙蟹啊 and shout OBAMA !! Woot ?? He turns back to u and says David speaking !! He's really Beckham !! So at this time, u should use english instead of cantonese. Hence u can reply him by using "how big how big, sand crab zao sand crab ah" instead of 几大几大,沙蟹就沙蟹啊.
This is the way of using 几大几大,沙蟹就沙蟹啊 / how big how big, sand crab zao sand crab a. Hmm.. if u visit dimsum restaurant, u ordered CheeCheongFun, XiuLoongBao, and others but all don't have, XiuMai is the only one they have. Therefore, u can use 几大几大,烧卖就烧卖啊!! x3
