cannot bear it

Dudu wrote in Mandarin不住” because she wanted to use a Teochew word “du2m6duê3 唔綴|堵唔缀” which means cannot bear it – for example ruah8 gao3 du2m6duê3 熱到堵唔綴|热到堵唔缀 – hot until cannot bear it.

Do notice her mother is unable to say in Mandarin!


In Mandarin, to say it is too hot and cannot bear it, one could say 太熱了忍不住
