Mandarin[edit]

Trying to come up with a Mandarin translation comes up with 不好吃, 很难吃, and 特别恶心. I'm not sure if these are really translations, however, as none is a single-syllable word indicating yuckiness. Any thoughts? 24.29.228.33 03:17, 4 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Indeed, it is a little tricky as Mandarin lacks an interjection with the same connotations as 'yuck'. I've added and 哎呀, which I think will suffice. Those translations you put forth, by the way, merely describe the interjection, not what is actually said in real-life as an interjectory remark. Cheers for the translation request though.

Rfv-sense: To itch. - found in Grose's Provincial Dictionary, and some other dialectal dictionaries, but few mentions. There is clearly another verb definition required here, probably just an alt. form of yuk. Roger the Rodger (talk) 10:41, 3 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
