Singaporean 烏仔/烏囝

edit

@The dog2 Is this o͘-á / ou1 gian2? Or is it a typo? — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 20:48, 6 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Justinrleung: I think it's a typo, but this was added by User:Singaporelang. It makes more sense that 鳥 would be the correct character. Usually in Singapore, á is not as widely used as in Taiwan, and 囝 is much more common as a dimunitive. The dog2 (talk) 20:52, 6 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
@The dog2: Oh, I should've checked who added it :D but thanks! Let's see what Singaporelang says. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 21:27, 6 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Justinrleung @The dog2: From my experience i believe á and kiánn are both used though, just that the latter might be slightly more commonly used as a diminutive. á is retained in gin-a (child), hinn-a (ear), hoan-a (referring to the Malays in Singapore), boa-ia (crocodile), thang-a (window), etc. Singaporelang (talk) 14:59, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Singaporelang: Are both á and kiánn used here in the term 烏毋捌lastic? And should it be 鳥 (chiáu) instead of 烏 (o͘)? Also checking which is used for Hokkien and Teochew. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 15:04, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Justinrleung: oops, a typo, supposed to be 鳥 (chiáu), they look pretty similar. i've only heard "tsiau-kiann m-pat lastic", in this case tsiau-a isn't used commonly in Singapore Singaporelang (talk) 15:06, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Singaporelang: Thanks. So it should be 鳥囝毋捌lastic for both Hokkien and Teochew then? — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 15:08, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Justinrleung: yup, i'll make the changes Singaporelang (talk) 15:10, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Singaporelang: Thanks! — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 15:12, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
