En este episodio hablamos de la expresión "Ser de puño cerrado". "Puño" es "fist". Si tienes el puño cerrado entonces lo que tienes dentro se queda dentro, no lo das. Te explico más en el audio.

There are 6 tones in Cantonese, tone 1 to 6, let's split them into 3 groups.
Group 1: tone1/ Group 2: tone2 and 5/ Group 3: tone3, 4 and 6
Group 1:
Tone 1 is the easiest tone to find, it equals to stressed syllables in English or other Western languages, for example, father has 2 syllables, one is fa, the other is ther, the first one fa is stressed, because it's higher in pitch, this sound exactly equals to tone 1 in Cantonese.For example I want to pronounce: tik1 (means tick in Cantonese), let's pronounce ticking first, ticking has 2 syllables, the first is stressed, so ti is tik1.
Group 2:
Tone 2 and 5 are both rising tones and are the same in question tones, like WHAT? WHERE? WHO? So to find these 2 tones, you just need to pronounce "WHAT?" then you got the correct tones!
However, what are the differences between tone 2 and 5? Well, you want to be very strict, tone 2 is relatively higher compared to tone 5, but actually when local people are speaking, to speak faster, they will omit details while talking in conversations, so you can just treat these 2 tones as the same tone.For example, if you want to pronounce hou2 (means good in Cantonese), we pronounce WHAT? first, then use the pitch of WHAT? you can find hou2 very easily.
Group3:
Similarly, just like tone 2 and 5, because these 3 tones are so close to each other and quite familiar too, so when talking in conversations, they sound just like the same tone. These 3 tones are just like our unstressed syllables, let's take father as the example again. The second syllable ther is not stressed, and this equals to tone 3, 4 or 6 in Cantonses.For example, if you want to pronounce daap3 (means take transportation in Cantonese), you can produce Linda first, Lin is stressed and da isn't, here da is our tone 3 for daap.

How to find correct Cantonese tones

この前UNIQLOにいって、「ダブルフェイスシャツジャケット」を買ったの。あれすごいかるいし、かわいいし、かたちもいいしほんとおすすめだよ。 なんか、デザイナーのジルサンダーとUNIQLOがコラボレーションして「+J」っていうの作ったらしんだけど、その中のひとつが「ダブルフェイスシャツジャケット」なんだよね。 

I went to UNIQLO the other day and bought a "Double-Faced Shirt Jacket". It's very light, cute, and has a nice shape. The designer Jil Sander and UNIQLO have collaborated to create a brand called "+J". One of the items is the "Double Face Shirt Jacket.

私、全然知らなかったんだけど、10年以上前にジルサンダーとUNIQLOコラボしていたらしいの。 で、2020年秋にまたコラボレーションが突然復活したみたいなんだけど、服のうばい合いがエグくてびっくりしちゃった！ 2020年ってもうコロナがはやってたのにー、店の中に人がたくさんいる写真がSNSにアップされたり、ニュースになったりしたんだよね。でもたぶん、今回の2021年冬のコレクションがジル・サンダーとの最後のコラボレーションらしいよ。 

 I heard that Jil Sander and UNIQLO collaborated over 10 years ago, but I didn't know about it. The collaboration was suddenly revived again in the fall of 2020, but it was a battle. Even though the corona was not over, pictures of many people in the store were posted on social media and made the news. The Winter 2021 collection was probably the last collaboration between Jil Sander and UNIQLO.

私が買ったジャケットなんだけど、これは2021年冬のコレクションのもので、まだお店にのこってたんだよね。で、もともと14900円だったのがセールしてて、12900円からの7990円からの5990円からの4990円になってて、だから、10,000円引きで買うことができたのー！めっちゃ安くない！？

The jacket I bought this time was from the Winter 2021 collection, and it was still in the store. The price was 14,900 yen → 12,900 yen → 7,990 yen → 5,990 yen → 4,990 yen! I was able to buy it with a discount of 10,000 yen. Isn't it so cheap?!

海外のUNIQLOはちょっとわかんないんだけど、日本のUNIQLOって、全部じゃないけど金土日は結構安くなるからほんと、おすすめ！もし、日本に来た時にUNIQLOに行くんだったら、絶対金土日に行ったほうがいいよ！ 

I don't know about other countries, but in Japan, UNIQLO offers discounted prices on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for some items, but not all. If you are going to go to UNIQLO when you come to Japan, it is better to go on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.
