dimsum

Most of us eat dimsum and we call the meal and dishes in Cantonese. It is time for us to learn how these phrases are said in Teochew.

If you were to watch this video, you would hear some of these words.

The guy is from Swatow but he is very shy from speaking our mother tongue for whatever reason. However, you can hear some Teochew Uê spoken in this video.

I have also realised I have difficulties understanding the lady from Hui6lai5 惠來 speaking Teochew. I just typed the subtitles in Teochew.
