Thank you very much again, Noah!
One question: Sí fāt jái could literally translate as little shit?
Kind regards.
I’m not quite sure if that would be the right translation. That may be the correct if translated word for word, however the connotation would still be “fag”. Cantonese isn’t my primary language. However, 屎 does mean feces, and 仔 means kid, or young man. For example, 食屎 (sihk sí) is a common Cantonese insult, meaning “eat shit,” and 靚仔 （leng jái) means pretty or handsome boy. As for the meaning of the word 弗, I am not quite sure of.
