Native Chinese (not Standard Chinese) speaker; although even that has deteriorated quite a bit over the years.

I speak a few other languages with varying degrees of fluency.

Yay, lucky number!

The radical for 能 is actually neither of those. It is 肉. See Wikitionary on Chinese radical/肉

"In your case,"艮"(gèn or gěn) is really a character." Yes, but that wasn't I was asking ;)

Hmmm, you'll need to be a bit more clear when with that last part, maybe by providing an example. I can't recall a situation when I had difficulty determining which part was the radical.

comment Is there an equivalent for the Cantonese phrase “Ng Goi”
I don't think this is an appropriate answer. The OP is asking for a Mandarin equivalent, not an equivalent in another language.

comment How to describe differences between Cantonese and Mandarin?
Really? Korean words are constructed from syllables and have no tones. I don't think it looks sounds anything like Cantonese.

comment How to describe differences between Cantonese and Mandarin?
I don't think the writing system analogy is a good one. I don't understand French even though I am a native Portuguese speaker, but someone who speaks Cantonese can understand Standard written Chinese.
