*Some words experience a tone change. CantoDict (see below) attributes this to whether the character is being read in a literary manner or a colloquial manner, but some Hong Kong friends have told me that the tone depends on what surrounds the word.

E.g. jyu4 (yùh) = literary, jyu2 (yú)= colloquial

(Please see CantoDict's explanation: http://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/essays/tones.htm#cantodict_tones )

If there are any errors, or you have some feedback, feel free to send me a message or write a comment. I am not an expert in the Cantonese language, but have asked native Cantonese speakers to check my lists. I am a student and my goal is to write a clear vocabulary list to help me (and others) learn. You can find out more about my reason for these lists here: My lexicon series.
