@Justinrleung Could you think of a better way to translate this to English? The Mandarin equivalent would be 幹嗎 or 做什麼. For instance, 你幹嗎打他？ in Mandarin can be said as 汝拍伊做呢？ in Teochew. And likewise, 你在做什麼？ in Mandarin can be said as 汝做呢？ in Teochew. The dog2 (talk) 22:26, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- @The dog2: Do you have an example of this being used as 做什麼 like in your second example? The first example seems to be like "why". — justin(r)leung { (t...) | c=› } 01:08, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Justinrleung: It's kind of in the background, but you can hear it here at 0:32. It's definitely Teochew because this expression is not used at all in Hokkien. The dog2 (talk) 01:17, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- @The dog2: I wonder if it's just "how" in this case. — justin(r)leung { (t...) | c=› } 01:23, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
