Hokkien A Post

Chew Bakar SG

si kue neng to bo, pang kue sai to u.

Bangulzai SG

means 生鸡卵著无，放鸡屎著有 rite?

Chew Bakar SG

Yup. Meaning quite straight forward. A courteous remark by guest to a good host.

Bangulzai SG

A courteous remark by guest? Was it sacarsm?

Chew Bakar SG

Not really. One feel bad to disturb the host for their unexpected long stay will say that.

But if the host say that, the meaning is reversed.

Hi Chew Bakar,

Thanks for the explanation. Like Bangulzai, I was also a bit puzzled by the expression, but I think I now understand why it is used. Very nice one. Again, it illustrates that Hokkien speakers are not particularly embarassed about "sh*t". I can't imagine a guest saying that to a host in English :-).

Chew Bakar SG

Hi Chew Bakar,

Many earlier words, idioms and phrases are lost.

Bangulzai SG

i see! now i realized the guest was humbly demeaning oneself for being a 長尻川. at first i tot the guest was saying that the host is such a person as described.

Yup.

Now a cheeky prose by kids back in the early days

niau bi niau pi-pa

pang sai kor bang ta

pak kui kee?

pak sar kee

chi ki pa lo

chi ki pa kor

chi ki pa lau ni por.

Bangulzai SG

can't make out some of your pronunciations

this is what i roughly get out from your transliteration without tones

猫卑猫卑巴 (was it typo error that your first "bi" but second "pi")
放屎(kor?)蠓罩
缚几支
缚三支
蜀支(pa?)锣
蜀支(pa?)鼓
蜀支(pa?)老奶(por?)

pockmarked pockmarked
shit (kor?) mosquito net
tie how many
tie 3 of them
one of them (pa?) horizontal drum
one of them (pa?) vertical drum
one of them (pa?) (lau ni por?)

Chew Bakar SG

Sorry to confused you. Now using someone computer.

niau bi niau pi pa = Pockmarked Cat

pang sia kor bang ta = shit on the mosquito net

pak kui kee? = debone how many?

pak sar kee = debone 3

chi ki pa lo = one to beat big drum

chi ki pa kor = one to beat vertical drum

chi ki pa lau ni por.= one to beat old nipple. (por as in chai por)

Use to tease old lady.

Bangulzai SG

thanks. now i think (kor) = 糊 "stick on", and confirm (pa) = should be phah

pak4 kui2 ki1
pak4 saN1 ki1
cit8 ki1 phah4 lo5
