How do you say green mountain in Cantonese?

There are a few ways to say "green mountain" in Cantonese, depending on the context and desired nuance:

Literal translation:

* 綠色山 (lùksè shān): This is the most literal translation, using "green" (綠色) and "mountain" (山).

* 青山 (chēng shān): "青山" literally means "blue mountain," but it's often used to refer to a green mountain, particularly in poetry and literature.

Other options:

* 青綠山 (chēng lùksè shān): This combines "blue" and "green" for a more poetic and evocative description.

* 翠綠山 (cuì lùksè shān): This uses "翠綠" (cuì lùksè), which describes a vivid, emerald green, adding a sense of lushness.

Note:

* Cantonese pronunciation can vary slightly depending on the region.

* The specific translation you choose will depend on the context and the level of formality.

For example, if you are talking about a specific mountain with a green color, "綠色山" would be the most appropriate. But if you are using it in a more poetic sense, "青山" or "青綠山" might be more suitable.
