do yourself a huge favor and buy this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Read-Write-Chi...463626-0356854

it's got characters in nice big print and the Mandarin & Cantonese names for each - it was intrumental when I was learning to speak to my sifu years back

I've seen on the net the chinese sai called a Gen, but I don't know if its Cantonese.

[CFT]

Yes, it is "tit chek": http://www.chinese-weapon.com.tw/chinese-S203-6.htm

Simplified chars: 铁尺
Traditional chars: 鐵尺

Wai Jia = Ngoi Gar (intial Ng like the ng in sing)
Nei Jia = Noi Gar

TongLongJai,
It is difficult to translate anything into or from chinese language. Cantonese language has many sub dielects and subtleties that makes it hard to get a straight answer from anyone.

Laets take for example Fist: 拳

In Cantonese, from different people I heard it pronounced / Spelled:

Kuen
Kune
Kuern
Kun

Same thing as Double Edged Sword: 劍

In Cantonese:

Gim
Ghim
Gheem

The only true way to translate is the calligraphy. Don't get hung up on whether it's mandarin or cantonese
