I've seen 蕉 translated into Mandarin (and dubbed into Mandarin) as 肏.

CC-CANTO doesn't really give anything much for 蕉 in Cantonese.

words.hk doesn't give any results, either.

I'm guessing 蕉 just fits the pronunciation ziu1 but is not the actual character for whatever it is supposed to mean, but I have no way of knowing for sure.

  • What does 蕉 mean in Cantonese?

    It means 'banana' literally. But it can be used as swear words for its shape.

it means bananas (香蕉)! But if people say "食蕉" to you in a foul way, it means "eat shit", because a banana and shit are similar in shape i guess...

i am from HK and i speak Cantonese .

if people say "食蕉" to you in a foul way, it means "suck dick" and not eat shit!
