How do you say can read this to me in Chinese cantonese?

There are a couple of ways to say "can read this to me" in Cantonese, depending on the context and formality:

Informal:

* 讀俾我聽 (duk bei ngo ting): This is the most common and informal way to say it, meaning "read it to me".

* 幫我讀 (bong ngo duk): This means "help me read it" and is slightly more polite than "讀俾我聽".

Formal:

* 請您幫我讀一下 (cing nin bong ngo duk jat ha): This is a polite way to ask someone to read something to you, meaning "Please help me read this".

* 麻煩您讀一下 (ma fan nin duk jat ha): This is another polite way to ask someone to read something to you, meaning "Please trouble yourself to read this".

Note:

* The phrases above use the Cantonese pronunciation, which is slightly different from Mandarin.

* The tone of the phrase can also influence its meaning. Using a friendly tone with "讀俾我聽" will make it more informal, while using a more formal tone with "請您幫我讀一下" will make it more respectful.

* If you're not sure which phrase to use, it's always best to err on the side of politeness and use a more formal phrase.

Hope this helps!
