Maybe worth noting that 64 also sounds like "boiled to death" in canto

I already started laughing in less than a minute, I've never thought of this before as a Cantonese speaker.

[whatever.anything]

2 Facts about numbers mentioned in the video.
4 : as it pronounces the meaning similar to death in cantonese, many buildings, will skip the number in the floors due to fengshui, so that some buildings only have 1/F, 2/F, 3/F, 5/F and so on.
8 : In Hong Kong, there is a station called Racecourse, located in Sha Tin in the New Territories. What is interesting is that the route numbers of the special trips buses departing from there are three digits which start with 8. As pronounced meaning similar to rich in cantonese, the route numbers are created to wish the people joining in the events a good luck. thus, the entire Sha Tin district uses two digited numbers starting with 8 as the bus route numbers because of this.

As a Cantonese speaker, I can't stop laughing😂

She talks so damn fast. But Japanese do the same thing too. One of my moms car's plates in the past happened to have the number 893. Which if you say the numbers regularly it's hachi kyuu and san. But said in the other way numbers are spoken it's YA-KU-ZA hahahaha

[NTDOffTheGreatWall]

Thank you! Yes, it did take a long time to find those phrases but it was all worth it. :)

I've seen it a while ago. It was very impressive. But I think he does each take separately and not talking in all 6 accents at once.

[awale]

OMG thank you thank you thank you! I've been hoping for a Canto version!

[challengesoflife]

This video is great. Is there a video on general Cantonese wordplay?

[choe]

a story of my mom and dad's old house. They sold their house in Vancouver BC that ended in "4". two years ago (2015), I google earth the house and it was demolished and a giant house in it's place. They renumber the house to end in "6". So I knew it was chinese family that lives there.
