She said, "Mr 砂月... (I love) your nice & erotic look with glasses today! It's hard to me for not putting you in the first place (first place of her heart?)~~~ Oh my god (or I can't help!)!!! I am still exciting now~~~ (I am so happy) to chat with master 砂月~~~ >> 唔掂ar!!! Generally it means "it doesn't work", but in this sentence it means "I can't help but..." or just simply express her "Oh my god" feeling >> e+ In Cantonese it should be 依家, which means "now". Cantonese people (esp. HK people) love to type e+ instead (almost the same pronunciation) because it's short. >> high Which means "Hyper". |

Additional information about Cantonese: it is more like a dialect (as there are kansai and kantou dialect in Japanese) than a language. We speak in Cantonese but write in Chinese. However, it is still possible to express Cantonese in words (informally). |

And I'm not sure what you mean about the Taiwan newspaper. They do not speak Cantonese in Taiwan. They speak Mandarin mostly, some Taiwanese, and many of the older generation speaks Japanese as well due to the occupation. And no, I don't get headaches from reading Taiwan newspapers. It is a bit challenging for me, but that's it. |

Let me clarify.
Chinese character: Simplified-used in Mainland China Traditional-used in Taiwan and Hong Kong Spoken languages: Mandarin-used as the official language in Mainland and Taiwan, but both places have dialects Cantonese-used in Hong Kong, Macau and southern part of Guangdong Province. So Hong Kong and Taiwan share the same traditional Chinese character in writing, but Mainland and Taiwan share the same spoken language. And written Cantonese is a totally different story... |

Taiwanese don't speak Canto in general...They speak either Taiwan dialect Mandarin or actual Taiwanese.
