Put Tai Foon

Post by lan xian dapu hak »

Yes, in Dapu Fa, we use 'put' in many instances. We never use 'fak tao foon' except when you use 'fak ten' (go crazy). All the expressions listed above are also used in Dapu Hakka.

Fak Tai Foon

Post by lan xian dapu hak »

I mean 'fak tai foon', not 'fak tao foon'. Sorry for typing error.

Is it 'fak' or 'fat' you use (for 發)?

Fak or Fat

Post by lan xian dapu hak »

It sounds similar to Kungfufa (Cantonese). It sounds more like 'fark' but definitely not 'fat' as in the English word 'fat' (overweight).
