lai see

定義: A romanised code-mixing term used by westernised Hong Kongers to refer to the red packets of cash given as gifts during Chinese New Year.

Expat: Have you got any lai see during Chinese New Year? HK'er: Laai see? Sure! I have laaaai see today. Just kidding.同義詞: 利是參考: https://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/dictionary/words/2007/
