Boo! 👻 In this spooky yet fun episode of Bite-size Cantonese, we dive into the world of 鬼 (gwai2) — from Halloween parties in Hong Kong to traditional Ghost Month rituals. Celia shares personal stories about growing up with ghost taboos and teaches you five useful Cantonese phrases that use the word 鬼 in surprisingly different ways — from 走鬼 (to run away) to 好鬼靚 (super pretty!). You’ll discover how one “ghostly” word captures Hong Kong’s unique mix of superstition, humour, and slang. Perfect for Cantonese learners who love culture, language, and a little bit of spookiness!
