Welcome

Do you know how to say welcome in Teochew?

The video at just after 2:17 says “Swatow welcomes you”.

Swatow huang1ngêng5 le2

汕頭歡迎汝|汕头欢迎汝

Do notice that silver is said as ngeng5, which is different to ngêng5 as in huang1ngêng5 to mean welcome.

Listen to the video several times and say huang1ngêng5 and you will soon able about to say ngêng5. 

NOTE: Swatow and Teochew are English words listed in the Oxford English dictionary and this is why I seldom write our current Romanised spelling for these two cities, unless absolutely necessary.
