This appears generally fine though stylistically not as colloquial. Using 請 for "please" is considered more formal since it's usually more written than spoken. In addition, it uses the Cantonese genitive particle 嘅, though I think most speakers would prefer to use the measure word 本 in this context, but this is still perfectly grammatical. Lastly, it still retains the same word order for direct and indirect objects as Standard Written Chinese, which while not completely colloquial, is still considered acceptable when spoken. BTW, since written Cantonese isn't standardized, 畀 can often be seen written as 俾, but they refer to the same word. > Translate "唔該你畀佢本書我" to English. > > The Cantonese phrase "唔該你畀佢本書我" translates to "Please give me his book" in English. Exactly correct.
