Cantonese is arguably one of the language which has the most combination of swear words! Cantonese has a large flexibility and one word can have many meanings, that's why many combination of swear words can be formed :)
As a teacher I should not swear, but on this online platform it does not really matter :D I think no students know I am blogging here ;)
So let's swear!!!
Cantonese has 5 basic swear words:
- 屌 (pronunciation: diu, meaning: fuck / dick)
- 撚 (pronunciation: lun, meaning: dick / play)
- 柒 (pronunciation: tsat, meaning: dick / stupid)
- 鳩 (pronunciation: gau, meaning: dick / stupid)
- 閪 (pronunciation: hai, meaning: cunt)
Note that 2-4 can be used as an adjective or adverb basically everywhere to strengthen your tone.
There are also some common words that can be used together with the above swear words:
- 你 (pronunciation: nay, meaning: you / your)
- 我 (pronunciation: ngo, meaning: me / my)
- 個 (pronunciation: gor, meaning: a quantifier)
- 臭 (pronunciation: chau, meaning: smelly)
- 老母 (pronunciation: lo mo, meaning: old mother)
- 含 (pronunciation: hum, meaning: suck)
- 啦 (pronunciation: la, meaning: a modal particle)
- 呀 (pronunciation: ah, meaning: a modal particle)
Okay, now let's try to make some swear phrases!
- 屌你老母 (fuck your old mother, this one is probably the most well-known swear words in Cantonese. When we greet our friends, some times we say this as well!)
- 含撚啦你 (you suck dick!)
- 臭閪 (smelly cunt)
Come on guys, it's your turn now! Try to make some swear phrases in the comments below! I will tell you whether it makes sense or not! :)
And one exercise for you guys: can you explain this?

RE:swear in Cantonese, We can't miss out the top rated expression "Puk Gai", it sits on the 1st place of top swear words in Cantonese.
It's so common to a level that you will almost hear this expression everyday in Hong Kong. Basically, it's a curse phrase in Cantonese, meaning similar to "drop dead". But it also has a actual meaning of "falling onto street" accidentally.
