How do I say "Thank you for this gift" in Cantonese?

You can just say "Doh je". I don't think you need to say anything for "this gift". "Doh je" is enough.

Question

How many dialects are there in the Chinese language and are they difficult to speak?

Community Answer

There are seven dialects and each is similar to the other. However, it will take some time to learn to speak them all and you'd need to be dedicated and gifted for them all. Many people in Hong Kong are fluent in both Mandarin and Cantonese but it's less usual to find people speaking all dialects.
