I was watching a comedy yesterday and the title of the comedy is 鴨仔聽雷
ah4gian2 tian1 liu5 鴨仔聽雷｜鸭仔听雷 | unable to make sense of what one is hearing | 聽不懂｜听不懂 |
The nearest Mandarin saying is dui4niu2tan2qin2 對牛彈琴｜对牛弹琴
It means listen and do not understand.
ah4gian2 鴨仔 duckling
tian1 聽 listen / hear
liu5 雷 thunder
ah4gian2 tian1 liu5 鴨仔聽雷 - a duckling listening to thunder
i.e. do not understand, cannot make sense of what one is hearing
If you were to watch the comedy, you would hear the father using this saying.
