1-10 in cantonese phonetically

[David Jamieson]

just for the sake of it, lets count to ten!

-yat
-yee
-sam
-say
-ng
-lok
-chut
-bot
-gao
-sup

now, when you do your kungfu rhythimically, say this instead of using any other ways of saying numbers.

It's more authentic that way :D

cheers

Dear Mr. Kung Lek:

Your effort at illuminating the enumeration is applauded. Most, however, at Shao-Lin and Dengfeng would likely pronounce the numbers as follows:

1 yi
2 er
3 san
4 si
5 wu
6 liu
7 qi
8 ba
9 jiu
10 shi

It's more authentic that way. :D

Mandarinally yours,

Not all southern styles are Cantonese. In fact many of them are Fukkien :)

- It is not the way you do it, but the way you COUNT it!!!
- Sweating is rough, you shouldn't do it as you wear silk clothes!
