Character 等

 This character can be said as dêng2 or dang2.

Mogher reports that it could be said as têng6 but Zhang Xiao Shan has not shown such an entry.

Teochew

English

Mandarin

bung2dêng2 本等

originally it should have been

ben3lai2 jiu4gai1 本來就該本来就该

dêng2

to weigh

cheng1liang2 稱量称量

Do not be confused between these two homophones dêng2 and

dang2sên1 等生

an expectant mother in labour

dai4chan3 待產待产

dang2zêg8ê7 等一下

wait for a little while

deng3yi1xia4 等一下
