How do you say strawberry in cantonese?

Strawberry in Cantonese is 士多啤梨 (Jyutping: si6 do1 be1 lei2). This is a phonetic transliteration of the English word "strawberry" — a common pattern in Hong Kong Cantonese for imported fruits and foods. You'll also see 草莓 (cou2 mui4), which is the standard Mandarin-style written word for strawberry, but in everyday spoken Cantonese, especially in Hong Kong, 士多啤梨 is far more natural and widely used. If you ordered a strawberry smoothie, you might say: 我要一杯士多啤梨奶昔 (ngo5 jiu3 jat1 bui1 si6 do1 be1 lei2 naai5 sik1) — "I want a strawberry milkshake." Note that 士多啤梨 is specific to Cantonese; Mandarin speakers would just say 草莓 (cǎoméi) and wouldn't recognize the transliterated form.
