Hmn, pity, thanks for the help lujiaojie.

How about with 把？ Like a hopeful enquiry. "Let's have a great weekend!" Would it be:

我们有一个愉快的周末把!

?

Jadeed, your attitude sucks. Calm down, and discuss things like an adult.

When I hear Mandarin, I can understand a little. When I hear Cantonese, it not only _sounds_ completely different, I can't understand anything. Giving me 3 examples of words that are the same is ludicrous. they may have at one time been dialects, but these days they're pretty dichotonous.

As other said, can a mandarin-only speaker understand a cantonese-only speaker? No. So there you go.

It's the fact that all the words are completely different, I should think.

Oh, and I found this pretty amazing website for modern chinese art:

You can even buy the paintings, although I wouldn't trust that, frankly, being the untrusting fellow i am.

Is 周末愉快 just a set phrase to say to someone, or can you include yourself. Like, if you were about to go away for the weekend with someone, could you say, "我们周末愉快!" ?
