Strange

I must have mentioned how Teochew people say "strange" which is hiao5. Do listen to this video in which this guy says "hiao5si2" which means very strange soon after 17:11.

Hiao5 has many meanings, I am sharing with you some of my study notes on hiao5 pertaining to strange. 

hiao5

strange, odd

qi2guai4 奇怪

hiao5si2 嬲死

very strange

很奇怪

hiao5 gao3 goi1'mo5 dim5 loh8 zui2

嬲到雞毛沉落水,嬲到鸡毛沉落水

hiao5 gao3 zioh5tao5 pu5 ki2lai3

嬲到石頭浮起來。嬲到石头浮起来。

Strange until chicken feathers sink in water, odd until stones float (on water).


I nasal my hiao5 - do you?
