三兄到底為乜事你得說給春娘知|三兄到底为乜事你得说给春娘知

What problems do these three brothers have, you better say for Cung1nion5 to know.

His Teochew City accent says Cung1nion5 as Cung1niên5. The above is how formal Teochew sounds like. If you were to speak in formal Teochew, only the Chinese educated Teochew people will know what you are saying.
