How do you say father in cantonese?

There are actually two ways to say "father" in Cantonese, depending on the context and level of formality:

* 爸爸 (baa baa) - This is the most common and informal way to say "father." It's similar to the English "Dad" or "Daddy."

* 父親 (feei3 zin2) - This is a more formal and respectful way to say "father." It's similar to the English "father" or "Father."

You would typically use 爸爸 when talking to your own father or referring to someone else's father in a casual setting. You would use 父親 in more formal situations, such as in writing or when addressing someone older or in a position of authority.

Here are some examples:

* 爸爸,我要吃飯。 (baa baa, ngoh yiu sik fan) - "Dad, I want to eat."

* 我的父親是一名醫生。 (ngo dei feei3 zin2 si jat ming yi sing) - "My father is a doctor."
