Children in Cantonese so many different ways to say, right? Children||||so many|||||

You know 小朋友 , 細蚊仔 , 細路 , 細路 仔 ,these are all vocabs of kids in Cantonese. |know||little one|kids|kids||these|are||||||

兒童 都 係 一個 vocab about kids,but 兒童 is a written form to say kids in Cantonese, children||||Children|||but|Children|||||||||

兒童 , 但係 兒童 呢 我哋 好 少 喺 個 spoken form 嗰度 講 嘅 , 口語 嘅 時候 就 好少 講 兒童 嘅 , 通常 係 書面語 ,written form, 書面語 嘅 時候 呢 就 會 用到 啦 。 ||||||||||||||spoken language||time||||children||||written language|||||||||be used|

但係 因為 節日， festivals， 咁 都 會 用 書面語 講 嘅 , 所以 呢 Children's Day 我哋 叫 兒童節 , 咁 兒童節 會 做 乜嘢 呢 ? 其實 係 冇 乜 特別 嘢 做 嘅 , 只不過 呢， 係 一個 名 , 叫做 兒童節 , 其實 喺 香港 都 唔 會 特別 有 啲 咩 慶祝 嘅 ， 咁樣。 ||holiday|festivities|||||written language|||||||||Children's Day|||||||||||special||||just|||||is called||||||||||||celebrate||

咁 喺 你哋 嘅 國家 或者 住 嘅 地方 又 會 唔會 有 呢啲 叫做 兒童節 或者 係 關於 小朋友 嘅 節日 呢 ? 咁 你 都 可以 分享 下 喎 。 ||||||||||||||called|||||||||||||||you know Do you have a children's day or a festival about children in your country or place? Then you can share them with us.

咁 呀， 除咗 係 兒童節 呢 , 其實 每年 嘅 四 月 四 號 或者 係 四 月 五 號 呢 , 咁 香港 人 呢 都 會 有 呢 個 清明節 , 清明 festival。 ||besides||Children's Day|||every year||||||||||five||||||||||||Qingming Festival|Qingming| Then, apart from the Children's Day, Hong Kong people will have a Ching Ming Festival on April 4 or April 5 every year.

清明 festival 都 可以 叫做 Tomb Sweeping Day, Tomb Sweeping Day，即係 掃墓 喎 , 咁 會 做 啲 乜嘢 嘅 呢 ? |||||tomb|tomb sweeping|||||that is|tomb sweeping||||||||

香港人 嗰日 呢 都 會 去 紀念 先人 , 先人 ，ancestors， 去 紀念 , to show their respect，commemorate 紀念 , 嗰啲 先人 就 會 帶 一啲 食物 喇 , 其實 我 哋 有 一啲 祭物 ,offering food, |that day|||||commemorate|ancestors||||commemorate||||||||ancestors|||||food|||||||offering food||

Burning incense, 一啲 香燭 , 咁 就 帶 去 grave site, 個 墳地 或者 墓地 嗰度 , 咁 就 去 紀念 先人 咁樣 啦 。 burning incense|incense||incense candles|||||grave site|grave site||grave site||grave||||||ancestors||

咁 喺 香港 呢 , 清明節 就 係 公眾 假期 , 係 public holiday,is an official public holiday, 係 法定 嘅 公眾 假期 , 公眾 假期 。 ||||Ching Ming Festival|||public holiday|||public|public holiday||an|official||||legal|||||

咁 好多 人 就 會 嗰日 休息 , 就 到 墓地 去 掃墓 , 去 表達 對 先人 或者 祖先 嘅 敬意 ,to show respect and honor to their ancestors。 |||||that day|rest|||graveyard||tomb sweeping||express||ancestors||ancestors||respect|||||respect and honor|to||

咁 我 記得 好細 個 嗰陣 , 我 都 有 同 爸爸媽媽 阿妹 去 掃墓 嘅 , 但係 到 大 過 咗 , 爸爸媽媽 就 冇 叫 我哋 去 啦 , 因為 其實 嗰日 你 知 啦 , 大家 都 放假 , 咁 所以 個個 都 係 嗰日 出去 掃墓 , 其實 好多 人 好人 逼 呀 。 |||very small||||||||younger sister||||||||||||||||||||||||holiday||||||||tomb sweeping|||||press| I remember I went to visit the graves with my mom, dad and sister for a while, but after that, my mom and dad didn't ask us to go there, because in fact, you know, everyone was on vacation that day, so everyone went out to visit the graves that day, and there were so many people who were very nice and forced to do so.

仲有 呢，嗰啲 香 呀 ,burning incense, 嘩，嗰啲 煙 呀,smoke 呀 咁樣, 其實 真係 唔係 咁 好受 呀 , 咁 所以 呢， 後來 爸爸媽媽 都 話 算啦 , 你哋 留 喺 屋企 啦 , 唔使 去 啦 。 |||||||Wow||smoke||smoke|||||||feel good|||||later||||Forget it||stay||home|final particle||| Also, those incense sticks, burning incense, wow, that smoke, it's actually not that pleasant, so later on, dad and mom said forget it, you all stay home, no need to go.

咁 所以 呢 我 印象 之中 , in my memory， 印象 之中 ， 淨係 好 細 個 嗰陣 , 就 有 同 屋企人 去 掃墓 啦 。 ||||impression|among|||memory|||only|||one|||||family members||grave sweeping| So in my memory, I only remember when I was very small, I went to sweep the grave with my family.

係 呀 , 咁 喺 你哋 嘅 國家 又 有冇 呢啲 嘅 節日，係 特別 係 去 紀念 先人 呀 、 祖先 嘅 呢 ? ||||||||have any|||||||| commemorate|ancestors||ancestors|| Yes, do you have these kinds of festivals in your country, especially to commemorate ancestors?
