character 許

We will look at this character 許 with the aid of this video.

Lai2ke3 he2go3

來去許塊｜来去许块

Go over there.

去那邊｜去那边

A note: when lai comes before ke3, it always take tone 2.

do6 he2go3	在許塊｜在许块	at that place
he2diang1si5	許唺時｜许唺时	at that time
Teochew Store uses [亻㐱] for diang1 but one of my Teochew dictionaries uses 唺 and do notice that he did not write a character for diang on the video screen.
gi1he2	幾許｜几许	How many?; quite a few
he2ko2	許可｜许可	to permit, to allow
gi1he2 and he2ko2 are Mandarin words said in Teochew. How many is normally said as rioh8zoi7 若㩼 and quite a few is normally said hoh4zoi7 好㩼 and as for to allow or permit, we say this as haon3 好
Kou2	許｜许	Surname Kou [Xu in Mandarin]
siang6sian1se5	象聲詞｜象声词	onomatopoeia
huag8 bhag8 hu2 hu2	伐木許許｜伐木许许	onomatopoeia
Teochew City: huêg8 bhag8 hu2 hu2
zio3muêh8 hion3 bu3	照物許富｜照物许富	This one that rich.
Le2 ke3dioh4 hion3 gu2	汝去著許久｜汝去着许久	You have been gone for such a long time.
TC accent: zio3muêh8 hiên3 bu3 and Le2 ke3dioh4 hiên3 gu2

I am so pleased I saw this video because I have been looking for the character for hioⁿ3.

I hope you have enjoyed listening to the beautiful Teochew City accent and at the same time have learnt a few more Teochew words.
