I have heard people using these dialect words or phrases. But can't ask them to confirm if they are authentic, since they are the ones using them. :o
Tried to ask a few others, but they looked at me funny. Not many people are conversant in dialects these days.
Thought I would try asking u chaps. Do these word exist and are the meanings correct? Thanks.
1. Lor mang (Cantonese) - supposed to mean fussy or problematic?
2. Chek ark (Teochew) - supposed to ask someone why u so mean to someone else or something to that effect?
3. Joo kia joo wui joo dui (Teochew) - supposed to mean the more u fear, the more it will happen to you?
4. Khek chek eh (lanjiao) say (Hokkien) - supposed to mean have an arrogant attitude?
5. Der (first sound Teochew) = supposed to mean irritate or frustrate?
