Ziao’ciu Sim 鳥嘴嬸 meeting Dêg4go1 Hian1 竹篙兄

The next learning video which I am translating is about fate and destiny and I remember that I have recently seen a short video about Ziao’ciu Sim 鳥嘴嬸 meeting Dêg4go1 Hiaⁿ1 竹篙兄 [Bamboo Pole Brother] and Dêg4go1 So2 竹篙嫂 [Bamboo Pole Sister in law] by chance in which Ziao’ciu Sim said “guê3 u6 uang5 過有緣｜过有缘” which in Mandarin is 太有緣｜太有缘。Or in English means “highly fated.”

You often see video clips which I put out in which Ziao’ciu Sim and Hung’guah Sim and their family living in a village in Teochew.

If she were really from Teochew, she would have said “guê3 u6 uêng5”. In addition, she says sleep as 夗 ngh8 and people from Teochew say 夗 ug8.

My guess is that the actor who plays Ziao’ciu Sim is from Swatow because of the accent.

I do not have a Teochew City accent 潮州府城口音, but I love listening to people from Teochew speaking. It has taken me years to understand people from Teochew speaking. I think they have a fantastic accent. They say Teochew as “Diê’ziu 潮州”, to think as “siêⁿ6 想” 。I say Dio’ziu and sioⁿ6 respectively.
