@Mlgc1998, just to be sure, you can use 味 (bī) to mean "to smell" as in the verb? And you don't use 鼻 (phī)? — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 20:23, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

• Sorry, I asked around to clarify these terms further which one correctly corresponded to which idea or if it was just a mix up of what is commonly heard, so I think 鼻 (phī) is more correctly about the act of smelling, 鼻仔 (phī-á) is the nose itself which sometimes could be shortened to just 鼻 (phī) for certain words like 流鼻(lâu-phī), then 味 (bī) is the smell or odor itself like 臭味(chhàu-bī) or could be the taste too in certain contexts--Mlgc1998 (talk) 21:41, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

  Alright, thanks! BTW, 鼻 in 流鼻 refers to "nasal mucus", not "nose", right? — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 03:53, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

  Yeah 流鼻 is when we say you have a cold or runny nose because your nose keeps on dripping--Mlgc1998 (talk) 19:58, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

  @Mlgc1998: So are there instances where you would say 鼻 for "nose" (not "to smell" or "snot")? — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 20:06, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

  Yeah, I think in some contexts. It's like a short form for the full word 鼻仔, which can be differentiated with the verb for sniffing through context, so I can say something like 你的鼻野紅咯(dí-ê-phī iá-âng lo) and 鼻覓了矣(phī-bāi le--ah)--Mlgc1998 (talk) 21:06, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

  @Mlgc1998: Great, thanks! — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 22:24, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
