Any relation to Jaya?

Could Jiayou possibly be related to or derived from Sanskrit Jaya (victory)? OjdvQ9fNJWl (talk) 07:45, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

No. Instead of looking at the Mandarin, look at a more conservative language like Cantonese and the unrelatedness should quickly become obvious. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 17:41, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Taishanese

@Fish bowl, do you remember where you got the Taishanese pronunciation from? — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 17:38, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: no :( —Fish bowl (talk) 23:13, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Teochew

@Justinrleung Just in case you want to verify, here you can hear her use the gê1 iu5 pronunciation to mean "to refuel". It appears that the gia1 iu5 pronunciation is used when the term is used as an interjection to cheer on someone, as you can hear in this video. So it appears that different pronunciations are used to distinguish between meanings in Teochew for this term. I'm not sure how well my edits explained this distinction.

@The dog2: I think it looks okay. I'm just not sure if the interjection video is saying gia1 iu5 because it's quick. If you could find a clearer video, it would be appreciated. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 06:19, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

@The dog2: Never mind if you can't find another video. I found it on mogher. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 06:21, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
