Today, based on the ‘Are u a Hokkien 2’ video, I have learnt a few Hokkien phrases regarding certain food items. Zap cai represents mixed vegetable and can also be used to describe vegetable curry which is Nyonya dish. Or cuk bi represents black glutinous rice. I also learnt to say a rhyming sentence in Hokkien ‘Wa wu sa niah sa’ which means I have 3 shirts. Even though tau ka chiu literally means take out your hand and leg, it has an inferred meaning when used which is to help out. A certain phrase may be said differently by some based on one’s culture and background.
