cooking bitter melon with Chinese bayberry part 2

In the last post, I have written down the Teochew common saying which Iab Hui has said and the last line is.

dua7nang5 li7 liah8 lai5 puê3 muê5

大人哩掠來配糜|大人哩掠来配糜

We all know liah8 means to catch. Another meaning is to purchase. However, a third meaning is to take as in the Mandarin 拿。

Therefore, a translation of the above line is “adults take it and eat it with rice porridge”.

If you want to listen to Iab Hui saying the three lines again, then click on this link
