Cannot speak Teochew Uê properly!

 I have never understood why our ancestors got us to recite a Teochew ballad from young and taught us such a ballad with a grammatical mistake.

They should have taught us tiⁿ1dêng2 u6 ziah4 gho5 because we do not like zêg8 in our sentence.

tin1dêng2 zêg8 ziah4 gho5

天頂一隻鵝｜天顶一只鹅

tin1dêng2 u6 ziah4 gho5

天頂有隻鵝｜天顶有只鹅

No wonder so many of us cannot speak Teochew properly. 

When ask how many people have arrived, you will often hear people overuse gai5 and they may answer:

No6 gai5 nang5

二個人｜二个人

The answer should be:

No6 gioh4 nang5

二腳人｜二脚人

I am glad Mogher has got this recorded in their online dictionary!

You can see gai5 is omitted in Teochew in the following example.

Mandarin	English	Teochew
三個月後	After three months	san1 ghuêh8 ao6 三月後
