      I speak both Cantonese and Mandarin xD

      The comment I replied to said

      In a language where the inflection changes the word, how does something like sarcasm work?

      I don’t have a lot of interactions with Mandarin speakers outside of having been through 2nd grade in China

      So Cantonese is all I know regarding to irl use of sarcasm in a tonal language.
