High-Intermediate Cantonese Practise: Who Pays On The First Date? (廣東話練習：第一次約會，邊個請？)

Hey all, Kingsley here! This is another video of me practising my Hong Kong Cantonese speaking skills. I would rate the topic to be at the advanced level, but my answer level is probably around high-intermediate as I feel I repeated a lot of things while I tried to get my thoughts straight during the video. If your Chinese/Cantonese learning journey is at the intermediate stage, I think this would be an interesting and useful video to watch. In the video we talk about a somewhat tricky subject: Who should pay on the first date? In all honesty, there probably isn't a single "correct answer" to this question as everyone has their own unique views and values. But we thought it would be an interesting and engaging topic to discuss and to test the level of my Cantonese! As a high-intermediate/low-advanced speaker of Cantonese, I still make a number of mistakes in my speech - or say things in a roundabout way. As such, I have added annotations throughout the video with appropriate corrections or adjustments so that you can learn the most correct and natural way to say things. If you find my videos useful make sure to give it a like and subscribe! It helps both the channel and other learners of Cantonese by making my videos easier to find :) 今次我們來分享一下，對於初次約會誰人付款的觀點。 看來這個題目可以延伸更多想法呢！ 01:10 Begin asking the 3 questions 03:55 Why I think restaurants should pay for the first date! 05:10 My younger self's thoughts on who should pay on the first date 05:55 My current self's thoughts on who should pay on a date 08:30 A nice rule of thumb for deciding who pays for the date 14:15 What if the date is at a really expensive restaurant? 16:45 Should the success of a date be measured based on the price? 19:30 Unhealthy and toxic mindsets or behaviours when it comes to dates 22:15 Can (or should) guys accept if the girl pays on the first date?
