Do you know how to say cover a cooking pot with a lid and in Mandarin it is said as 蓋上蓋子。
Let us listen to this gentleman say how to close with a lid tightly and he speaks in Dio'ziu Hu'Sian Uê 潮州府城話 - i.e. Teochew spoken in Teochew City.
He said:
kioh8 gai6 gua3 guên1 mi1 挈個蓋關瞇 | Cover with a lid tightly. | 蓋上蓋子|盖上盖子 |
I say to cover with a lid tightly as kioh8 gai6 koin3 kam3 mi1 挈個蓋蓋瞇|挈个盖盖眯
How do you say to cover a pot with a lid tightly?
You will have noticed that 蓋 is said as gua3 koin3 and kam3 and 蓋 can be said as others as well.
Mandarin says this 盖 as gai3 except when it is used as a surname and it is said as Ge3 盖
Besides the above, that same character 蓋 is also said as gah4puê6 蓋被 to cover oneself with a duvet. As a surname we say it as Gai3 蓋。
