4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Final rendering: I told him, "You promised to lend me ten yuan. Can you give it to me now". He did not reply and left. Acknowledgement: My thanks to wherestip and Jason Pang for their helpful remarks. Certainly it was nothing that they posted that caused the delay in my response. Simply the Tsong Kit website is targeted for Cantonese and Hong Kong learners, and I required time to verify their remarks with the local population. If I can find time, perhaps I will dedicate a special webpage to this discussion, but for the moment I have my hands full, and must be content with what I have provided below. Discussion: Please see http://homepage.mac.com/moogoonghwa/tsongkit/part2/II-10-g.html#s14 for further discussion. Also, thanks to anastasia, Zhuoqui, and Chinoise for their confirmatory contributions. My very best from the land of no mountains surrounded by sea on many sides. "
