(Not entirely sure how to explain this question... but I'll try.)
I'm writing a story - in English - from the perspective of someone who only speaks Cantonese.
What I want to know is, how would a Cantonese person talk about going to the toilet, if the phrase was translated, word for word, into English?
I can think of several English expressions (using the bathroom, going to the toilet, using the loo...), but rather than saying "well, I'm writing in British English, so I'll use the British expression", I want to go for the closest one to what she'd actually say.
When Cantonese people talk about going to the toilet, what do they say?
