Definder - what does the word mean?

What is putonghua?

Literally 'normal language", what Hong Kong people and Chinese people call Mandarin.
The killer other Chinese dialects, such as Cantonese.
In Hong Kong culture, Putonghua is often referred to the "Winter Melon" because of it's pronounciation.

Your Putonghua sucks so much no one understands you.
I will never understand why Putonghua is better than Cantonese.
Nei di dong gua zhong mei souk nei zau mai lan gong laa! (Your putonghua isn't fluent enough so don't fucking speak it!)
