Talk:摵

Philippines Hokkien

@Mlgc1998 Are you claiming that the word 摵 can be used as a verb, like "in tak-lit le tshiak" (they have sex every day)? Or do you mean, it's just used in that expression. Mar vin kaiser (talk) 02:15, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

@Mar vin kaiser I thought about it yesterday or so and 咧摵 seems to work, albeit I wouldn't bet you'd hear much people use it since it's vulgar. I put that example to show the most frequent expression where it's recognized to be used. It doesn't look like a lone interjection. Mlgc1998 (talk) 02:38, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

@Mlgc1998: For this word, my dad doesn't recognize it, but he knows "tshiak" (not "tshia̍k") which is "to give the middle finger to someone", according to him. Is the word you know really "tshia̍k" and not "tshiak"? --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 02:01, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

@Mar vin kaiser I asked my dad again how "摵汝！" is supposed to be said and I remember the first time he said it to me he also showed a middle finger (as can be seen in the edit history) demonstrating to me supposedly pointing horizontally at someone saying "fuck you", which I asked it to him before in the first place cuz the groupchat briefly discussed it before and i think ken said it had something to do with flicking like on the topic of when throwing trash in a trashcan, hence why I put it in the first place in this entry, which the dictionary sources I found talking about this had those pronunciations of "chhe̍k" or "chhia̍k" with that 陽入 tone. I tried to have my dad say it again but of course, since it's a vulgarity, he got mad and didn't want to say it and instead hurled insults supposedly at the one who's telling me to ask about the insult expression but I finally got a part of the recording where he briefly mentioned it, which I can send u. I think it's as I expected before as well since it's what I would instinctively read this term as as well with a neutral tone at the 汝 part but it's certainly perplexing why the dictionary sources give it the 陽入 tone that I think I followed before.
