What is You are beautiful translated from English to cantonese?
你好亮 ＝"nei ho lang" (lang is not pronounced "long", but rather like "lamp") This is traditionally reserved for females.
But if you're saying this to a male, you can add "jai" 子，
to it like: "nei ho lang jai". This means "You're a really good looking guy" in Cantonese.
Similarly, you can add "nui" 女 so it's "nei ho lang nui" in order to say: "You're a really good looking/beautiful girl".
How do you say enjoy in cantonese?
Depends.
If you're saying, "Hope you enjoy", then it's "hey mong nay joong yee la". Joong yee (it sounds like "joan", but without the hard "n" sound) is the same as xi huan 喜歡.
But if you're just saying the general term for "enjoy", like, "I'm enjoying life", it's 享受 herng sao.
It sounds like "her" + "ng" but the n is subtle, meaning when you say it, you don't touch the tongue to the roof of your mouth nor anywhere else in your mouth. It sounds somewhat like a soft "urn" or "yearn" sound, just without the definitive hard "n" ending sound.
