will do, all right, able to, fine

How do we say "will do" or "all right" or "able to" or "fine" in Teochew? We say this as oi6dig4.

Please listen to the grandmother saying oi6dig4 after 3:18.

oi6dig4 會得|会得

will do, all right, able to, fine

xing2

Zio2sên1 siang6ho2, dan3 oi6dig4 gim1ao6 dai6gê1 ia7 bho5 uê7

照生上好呾會得今後大家也無話|照生上好呾会得今后大家也无话

This way is the best, if (we) can have an agreement, everybody will have nothing to say in the future.

In Mandarin

這樣最好談成功今後大家也無話可說|这样最好谈成功今后大家也无话可说


From above, one can observe that oi6dig4 has a deeper meaning than just xing2 !

I continue learning Teochew by asking myself how I would:

1] say in Teochew what I have heard in Mandarin dramas;

2] write in Teochew what I have heard when watching Teochew dramas. 

oh8 bhoi6 liao2 gai7 - Cannot finish learning! 

oh8 bhoi6 liao2 gai7 𠁞了個|学𠀾了个

Cannot finish learning!

學不完的|学不完的


Remember from the previous post on gai  - if one is replacing the Mandarin  with gai  then gai  will take tone 7!
