Friday's Teaching (archived)

Yesterday's useful addition: KA NA SAI

HUM-PALANG originates from Cantonese, but Hokkien-speaking people have modified its use to suit their everyday lives. Read my entry for its proper application.

Special thanks to Jeremy C for doing such a generous intro for Sisuahlai's Hokkipedia on his blog. Pai-seh. I am beginning to receive some strange emails from your blogitors.

Thank you also for your comments and suggestions. SilveRaven, I won't be able to attend the Kuching Blogger Meet, because I am not in Kuching this month, and strictly speaking, I am not a Blogger, and I also shy-shy. Bloggers talk about their lives, their adventures, I just talk about my adventures with Hokkien words. FH2O, I just want my friends to understand why I am so proud of Kuching Hokkien dialect, so must have a tribute site for this dialect. m.o.t.t., I hope your sons will grow up and take over my writing, I am beginning to run out of interesting Hokkien words (no-la, just joking, Hokkien so rich, how can run out so soon). Edison, grateful for your suggestion, tang-kee-yuk very much. Q, my good pengyiu, after your e-mail comment, I become so damn pai-seh, so I include your comment small-small ok? (I want to correct your comment too) your new blog is damn funny. Its good. Seriously. The concept, the illustration/example you give with you definitions are excellent. You've got the potential to be bigger than Kenny Sia.

Q, I damn pai-seh, man. You think I can be bigger than Kenny? I disagree with you, I don't think I'm ever gonna be bigger than him. See this picture for the conclusive proof...
