Talk:美國佬

Synonym

@Atitarev Hey, I'm just wondering where you got the word "佬美", the one you put under the synonyms. I can't seem to find a source for this. Thanks! --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 14:27, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

@Mar vin kaiser: It's available in Pleco app, the dictionary source (with a downloadable add-on dictionary "CC-Canto Cantonese-English dictionary". I tried the online version [1] but couldn't find the word. See also the data in Module:zh/data/yue-word/032: ["老美"] = "lou5 mei5"--Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 22:49, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

@Atitarev: So, it should be "老美" instead of "佬美", right? Just like the "老" in 老豆? --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 00:06, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

@Mar vin kaiser: Ah, yes, it's 老美 (lǎoměi). Thanks and sorry, I answered on the phone on the train to work an didn't pay attention! --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 00:11, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
