Singapore Mandarin

@Justinrleung Should we just list 雞掰 for Singapore Mandarin? In practice, everybody just refers to this using the Hokkien word (and with the Hokkien pronunciation, so I wouldn't really consider it Mandarin, since Mandarin doesn't have the voiced "b" sound used in this term that Hokkien has). 陰戶 is the term used in formal medical contexts though.

@The dog2: I'm not quite sure. Are there other ways of referring to this organ (in a less vulgar way, Mandarin, but still colloquial)? — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 23:24, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: If you watch a medical discussion on TV about women's sexual health, then 陰戶 is what will be used. But otherwise, I'm not aware of any colloquial Mandarin term used in Singapore, since everyone knows the Hokkien word. The dog2 (talk) 23:27, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

@The dog2: Okay. Then it's up to you to decide whether 雞掰 is an appropriate word to include. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 23:33, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: It's a tough one to call because the "b" in Mandarin hanyu pinyin is unvoiced, while in Singapore, the word is pronounced exactly as in Hokkien with the voiced "b", which doesn't exist in Mandarin. And even people who aren't fluent in Hokkien will pronounce it the Hokkien way. The dog2 (talk) 23:37, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
