getting married to a Teochew girl

In the beginning of the video, the subtitles write gia2ru5 假如 meaning “if” but the lady speaker said “zê zong nia2 giaⁿ2 cua7 bhou2 le2 sion6dioh4 dioh8 zung2bi6 rioh8 zoi7 cai2loi2” and I can only think that Zêzong is the name of the man. There is no character for nia2 which means your and I shall use this character for nia2 乃

nia2 gian2 cua7 bhou2 le2 sion6dioh4 dioh8 zung2bi6 rioh8 zoi7 cai2loi2

乃囝𡥘𡚸汝想著著準備若㩼彩禮

Your son get married you think of have to prepare how much betrothal gift?

If I have to give characters to the name “Zêzong” I would choose 齋宗 and he answered

Dioh8 u6 bêh4 bhuang7 no7

著有百萬[口二]

He actually said: Dioh8 u6 zêg8 bêh4 bhuêng7 no7著有一百萬[口二] and in Teochew there is no need to say zêg8

100*10,000 = 1,000,000 = 1 million

Have to have one million.

There is no encoded character for no7 which can be represented as [口二]

 

Dioh8 u6 bang5 u6 cia1

著有房有車

Have to have a home, a car

We normally say a home as cu3 厝 and for us bang5 房 means a room
