Let's Learn Hokkien!
The difference between:
1. Deng Bai
2. Gu Zah
3. Gor Zah
All three mean "last time", but denote different duration of time
past.
Deng bai is not long ago, macam a few days ago.
For example: "Deng bai, wah ki buay cai eh si zun" (Last time I buy
vegetable that time).
Gu Zah is many years ago, a faded memory.
Eg: "Gu Zah mata cheng teh kor eh si zun" (Last time policeman wear
shorts that time).
Gor Zah is ancient history, older than your grandparents.
Eg: "Gor Zah di deng sua eh si zun" (Last time in ancient China
that time).
