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 嬲

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?
