星期沪 – Communication September 22 2009 0 comments

This week’s Shanghainese Saturday Sunday Monday… day covers a few tools of communication. Speaking of which, the phone company hasn’t managed to get me online at my new place yet, thus the delays.

 电话
 [di22ɦo44]
 telephone

 手机
 [sɤ33ʨi44]
 mobile phone

 电脑
 [di22nɔ44]
 computer

And an earlier entry that never made it past Twitter, a phrase for when communication breaks down:

 侬讲啥?
 noŋ gaŋ sa?
 What did you say?

As usual you can receive these phrases as well as updates of the site via Twitter by following @AnnalsofWu.
