Learn to say a crack or split or flaw in Teochew Uê

This is a nice and quick learning activity. The video introduces to us a Teochew word, big4zuê7.

Zi2gai5 buê1 dêng2boin5 u6 diao5 big4zuê7

衹個杯頂畔有條𤷗㨹|只个杯顶畔有条𤷗

The top of this cup has a flaw.

big4zuê7 – a flaw, a crack

A point: Do notice that he did not say u6 zêg8 diao5 big4zuê7 and he omits zêg8 (one) because we Teochew people do NOT like saying zêg8  (ONE) – we either substitute with another character or omit it.
