WangSa YeFong 王沙野峰

When I was young, my parents encouraged me to listen to WangSa YeFong so I could improve my DioSua Ue.  At that time, we just called it Teochew [an English word - which is in the Oxford English dictionary].  

ZiHong wrote to me today and he discussed about the use of lo6 giving lots of examples.  And then I saw the character long1 鈴 yesterday in one of my dictionaries.  I went shopping today and while at the supermarket car park, my mind just opened up to what WangSa said so many years ago when I was a child.

Saⁿ1diam2 long1, si3 diam2 ia7 long1. Gah4 i1 daⁿ3 mai3 long1, i1 lo6 ngêⁿ6ngêⁿ6 aiⁿ3 long1.

三點鈴, 四點也鈴. 合伊呾[免/勿] 鈴, 伊在硬硬愛鈴。

七點鈴

OK the clock shows 七點鈴. 哈哈

There are two points of interest here. 

In the dictionary, 在  is written to be said as zai6 or do6.  However, for us DioSua nang, we never say do6 - but lo6 - in the above context.

Another point is LLL and the word dictionary use 愛 for aiⁿ3 to mean want 要.  I have read up LLL comments on 慾 and it does not say we should use this character to represent 要.

I hope you find this posting helpful.
