How do you say CHINA in Cantonese?

In Cantonese, China is pronounced (pronounced "zung") (pronounced "gwok").

Here's how to break it down:

* (zung) means "middle" or "center"

* (gwok) means "country"

So, "中" (zung gwok) literally means "middle country".

Pronunciation Tips:

* (zung): The "z" sound is similar to the "j" in "jump", and the "ung" sound is like the "ung" in "sung".

* (gwok): The "g" sound is like the "g" in "go", and the "wok" sound is like the "wok" in "sock".

Therefore, the entire phrase is pronounced as "zung gwok".
