Although I am a Taiwanese, I also picked up some Cantonese while I was in high school in Singapore and Vancouver.
: : As a Mandirin and other Chinese dialects speaker for 25 years, I do not think that Indy was saying any bad word on the scene of Bridge.
: taiwanese should understand fukien better than cantonese(read the dialogue below as transcribed by one of the forum members)
: I am merely taking those words off the words transcribed by one of the forum members - see post below (maybe I should watch that scene for myself again)..and besides, according to what you wrote earlier, I don't think he said Xian Zi. I'm very sure he said Sheng Zi.
: please, please don't make me emphasize on those words here on this forum. There are minors here. Besides, Indiana Jayne might understand too ; )
