I heard people speak Hokkien a lot as I was growing up. I have found some words to be funny and interesting. For example:<br><br>Iao Gwee literal: Hungry ghost Meaning: greedy<br>But sai Eye shit tears<br>Tik ki Metal teeth stubborn <br><br>Words like those I find to be very interesting. Could you guys please verify if they are correct and also add on to the list? Also, would these words be understood by a mainlander speaking the Min nan dialect?<br><br>Thanks so much guys!<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=17582">lilyc</a> — Fri Jul 05, 2013 12:52 am</p><hr /> ]]></content> </entry> </feed>
