I got most of these by first converting to the Mandarin pronunciations, then cross-referencing the countries to the names used at the 2008 and 2022 Olympic Games.

我廣東話唔係幾叻,但係我仲可以全部答晒,呢個測驗幾好玩啊。

My Cantonese isn’t that good, but I still managed to get all of them, this quiz is quite fun.

I don't know any Cantonese, maybe three to five words, but still got 37/40. I am Vietnamese, so it may helps.

I only know enough Cantonese to use it conversationally (Idk how to read it lmao) but I'm surprised I got 10/20 of the cities and 20/20 countries
