ai1 means begging, sai1(篩) means swinging

又ai1又篩 is a common term in Cantonese, used to show how eargerly you beg others

ai1 refers to the tone, while 篩 refers to the act. Just imagine a little girl begging you to buy sthing: she may ask with a crying/sad tone (ai1) , and swing your hands to show she desperately wants it.

Thanks! I suppose the “laat3” part…I probably misheard and is just the final particle 啦?
