I think the first three minutes of this video teaches people some very basic Teochew, especially the names of vegetables said in Teochew. By watching the first 3 minutes and 23 seconds of this video and reading the notes below, you will learn the names of many vegetables in Teochew.

have made the right guess.]
hên7 然
o7 哦
uê7 㗲｜𠵾
m7 呣
liao2 le2 gai2 ziah8 a7 bhuê7 了汝個食啊未
[Have you eaten?]
o7 哦
kih4 ua2 ioh4 a7 乞我約啊｜乞我约啊 [ask me

m6dioh8 ua2 li7 zu6 ioh4 le2 dan3 ziah8 ao6 唔著我哩就約汝呾食後｜唔著我哩就约汝呾食后 [not correct, then I make a guess
that you have eaten]

hia2 li7 si6 gho5 nêg8 㗾哩是鵝肉｜㗾哩是鹅肉
[in that case is goose meat] [The dictionaries have not identified the
character for hia2 which is equivalent to the Mandarin 那麼
which means “in that case” and li7 哩 is equivalent
to the Mandarin 就 again meaning in that case.
Other people write hia2 with the hia 靴
using the boots character and I have taken a step further and use this
character 㗾. Whenever you see a 口 in front of a character, it means that you just read
it for sound and not for meaning and of course there are exceptions to the
rule.]

The doctor then asked the patient to hush, and the Mandarin
subtitle wrote xu1 噓｜嘘
huan1 m6dioh8 a7 還唔著啊｜还唔著啊
[still not correct]
m7 呣 [an
interjection sound]
Hia2 li7 le2 dioh8 lai5 ti5si7 zêg8ê7 㗾哩汝著來提示一下｜㗾哩汝着来提示一下 In that case then you will have to give a little tip

Hia2 li7 si6 kah4na5 㗾哩是芥藍｜㗾哩是芥蓝 [In that case

m6dioh8 a7 唔著啊｜唔著啊 [not

cung1cai3春菜 [cung1cai3 could be mustard greens or Chinese lettuce]
The patient then calls on the doctor:

The doctor ignored the patient and continued to make his
guesses.

continue speaking on the phone, is this alright?]
tui1 tui1 tui1 le2 tui1 mih4gai5 nên7 抽抽抽汝抽乜個呤 [calling noisily incessantly - what are you calling
about?] [There is no character for nên7 but as it is a commonly used
particle, I have used the cold nên2 character and found one with a mouth in front
of it to give an idea of its sound.]
le2
bho5 tion2dioh4
ua2 lo2 m6oin5 hên7 汝無睇著我裸唔閒然｜汝无睇著我裸唔闲然 [Have you not seen that I am busy?]
m7 呣
Li6 a1 mo2i3se3 mo2i3se3 麗阿孬意思孬意思｜丽阿孬意思孬意思 [(I am) sorry, sorry Li!]

Then the patient interjected:
Le2 zu6 gah8 i1 dan3 zia2gi1 keng5cai3 ca2 cang1 loh8 uang5sui1, mo2 ziu6 ho2! 汝就合伊呾者支芹菜炒蔥落芫荽孬就好 [Your then tell her, “That Chinese celery stir fry
with spring onions (and) add coriander, then it will be fine.] [Do notice the mo2 and the
ho2 are used together!]
By then the doctor became very frustrated and dismissive
towards the patient’s suggestion.
The doctor then said:
Le2 si6 siao2 a7si6 汝是𤞚啊是 [Are you mad?]
Le2 lai6 zian3 ziah8 zia2gi1 keng5cai3 ca2 cang1 loh8 uang5sui1 汝內正食者支芹菜炒蔥落芫荽 [Do you eat this Chinese celery stir fried with spring onions with added coriander?]

coriander for lunch?]
The patient then
said:
ui1sêng1 a7 ho2 bhue7 醫生啊好未｜医生啊好未 [Doctor, have you

learnt names of some of the vegetables and also have had a good laugh!
