Now, working in an all Hokkien, Mandarin, sometimes-just-to-please-me English speaking environment has had a slow but steady influence on me. I have started to pick up certain words/phrases that these colleagues certainly enjoy saying every now and then when they are trapped in their daily dose of conversations.. Here goes:
Tio bo!!!? Tio!!
Zhen de ma!!! Zhen?
Simi tai qi?
Lao pan!!!
Zho kang liao!!!
Zhi peng!!
Zhi fan!!!!!!
Podah la!!!
There are more to come!! And yeah, the last phrase is not a hokkien phrase. But my own personal phrase that I always use when these colleagues just dont seem to stop talking!! But its all good la. POdah!!
