How to describe ladies . . .

 We have seen the character of Ri’Muê and the words I would use to describe this character are:

se1bhung5 斯文

refined, educated, cultured, polite, gentle

soi3ri7 細膩

exquisite, meticulous, fine delicate quality

Then if you were to look at the character Ziao’ciu Sim, what words would one use to describe such a person.

cou1lou2 粗鹵

crude in her manner, boorish

tam1ziah8 貪食

greedy for food

tam1sim1 貪心

greedy for things

And to such an extend that the actor who plays Ziao’ciu Sim is a MAN as they cannot find an actress who is able to have these characteristics.

Not being able to find such an actress in the whole village can be said in Teochew as:

cuang5 hion1li2 cuê7 bho5 全鄉里覓無|全乡里觅无

Cannot be found in the whole village.

I watch videos mainly from Swatow and Teochew City because I find the ones made elsewhere rather cou1lou2 and they show too many ag4 ze1nion5 惡姿娘 and I do not believe our Teochew ladies are so fierce!
