bad luck

I think every Teochew person knows the meaning of suê1 [bad luck] and in this video Ziao’cui Sim uses suê1 in two different ways.

puah4sue1

潑衰泼衰

unlucky, bad luck, wretched

suê1 gao3 mi5

衰到糜

to be totally out of luck

suê1 means bad luck, gao3 means until and mi5 means rotten. 

However, this character can be said as puah4 or puag4. Here are two examples of the use of puah8. If you want to hear how to say puah4 and puag4 click on this link.

i1 zo3 se7 guê3 puag4

伊做事過潑伊做事过泼

She is very nimble at doing things.

gai5 ze1nion5 puag4 si2,  da2bou1 gai7gai5 gian1 i1

個姿娘潑死 , 大夫個個驚个姿娘泼死 , 大夫个个惊

The woman is very fierce and tough, every man is afraid of her.
