Thanks. No wonder that tong an auntie keeps telling me "chng"
and I was a little blur thought it should be "chun". Prob
with me is I use Mandarin most of the time to translate to hokkien
if translation is needed.
Is eng chng and xiamen very near to each other in
China?
The "Ch'un" in "Eng Ch'un" is
pronounced "Ch'un" that is (Spring) -->
永春
What you are asking Clivebenss is another
"Ch'ng" that is (Village) -->
村
春 is never pronounced as
"Ch'ng", only as
"Ch'un"
Whereas 村 has 2 pronunciations both
"Ch'ng" and "Ch'un"
depending on where they are used
Therefore "Eng Ch'un" is never "Eng Ch'ng", haha
Hope this clarifies
