下
Gang Hiog 江煜
discusses the different pronunciations of this character 下 and
their associated meanings.
However, he has used the wrong character for hê6 in his
first example. That is bang3hê6 to
mean the end of a school day should written as 放暇 and not as written as 放下。

Sometimes, we
can say to children: |
|
Le2 bang3hê6
dioh8 zai1 zo3 zag8ngiab8 |
|
汝放暇著知做作業。｜汝放暇着知做作业。 |
|
You have to
make sure you do your homework after school. |
|
Some people
say zag8ngiab8 as gang1kuê3 功課｜功课
and both these words mean homework or school assignment and are Standard
Chinese words. |
As the first part is so uniquely Teochew, I have written the
Standard Chinese equivalent under the English translation.
