How do you say to pinch in Teochew? Listen to this chef saying niam1 拈 as in a name of a dish call niam1 min7 gao5 拈麵猴 [Some people in Teochew City would say liam1 拈 rather than niam1.]
Another way to say pinch is niab4 捏 - like as if you were making dumplings and you had to pinch the edges of the dumpling wrapper to seal the dumpling.
A way of saying pinch is zung6 捘 - so if you got up set with your boyfriend and you use your fingers to pinch him and then twist and that movement is called zung6!
Finally, there is nab8 捺 which is to use one's fingers to pinch and it has the same meaning as niab4 捏.
