Hokkien is difficult to me! I guess I was not
given proper guidance to speak since young. I pick up
all by myself.
Tsim Mak, I sometimes blur blur. hahahahha.
Bangul, I don't know what is the meaning of chee hong.
I notice it is used on guys. Is that a hokkien
word?
Selamat Malam kepada Pengawal of Kampong Sgliad.
Continue picking up your Hokkien and you will be super fluent
one day.
Almost no-one use Tsim-Mak in Singapore one
lah, use liao people may suspect we want to act fake.
Better to use Tsit-Tsun, as I have
confirmed with Malaysian Hokkiens, Philipino Hokkiens and China
Fujian Hokkiens this is still the most common word for "now".
(Of course Singapore Hokkien too.
Tsit-Ku is also more accepted than
Tsim-Mak lah.)
I am not sure what language is Chee Hong. Meaning found

CHEE HONG
The even ruder version of "Pok".

POK
A not especially polite way of describing a man
pursuing the affections of a woman.
"Eh, she damn jude. You think I
should go and pok her?"
It sounds more Cantonese to me than Hokkien. (My
instinct) Sounds more like Cantonese for 痴漢 Ch'ee
Hon. (My guess)
Confirm with Penghulu in case he knows.
