Wu Dep in Cantonese.
Whu Dep in Mandarin.
Never tiring of taking their photos.
Wu and whu? What is the difference? Pronunciation? Does esch syllable have a particular meaning?
The two characters do not pronounce a lot differently. For whu, try pronouncing without the w sound.
Both characters are made up words ( rather than figurative), both have an insert symbol on the left hand side.
So whu would be pronounced Hu? Weird. How are you guys doing with the coronavirus?
I have looked up the Mandarin phonetics dictionary, it should be hu’ die’ with a rising note. Please note they are Romanized and not English.
In HK, up to the time of writing, there are 14 confirmed cases. People, including me, are looking for health masks. They are out of supply. With a population of 7 million, theoretically, you need a few million masks in several days, if they all go out and dispose one mask per day. China is busily manufacturing for its own.
My Amazon order for masks has been cancelled.
I understand that they are available in Indonesia, but do not know how to get them.
Australia has hill fires and have consumed millions of masks and now not available. Chinese people have bought most masks in Vancouver / Toronto, therefore they are also not available. Things are in chaos as medical people wants to go on strike.
OMG. Stay home…
Yes, that’s what I am doing – stay home, but still go for my morning hike, weather permitting.
Problem is one still have to go grocery shopping. Or order on-line? 😉
