Adrianna TanI have a whole bunch of marine puns in a different language that I doubt more than 1 other person at work would understand. In Taiwanese / Hokkien, ‘Hae’ means shrimp ‘Heh’ means fishSo since I was a child my cousins and I have always been saying shrimp shrimp shrimp or fish fish fish for ‘hehehehe’ laughing It was meant to be<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Marine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Marine</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Puns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Puns</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Languages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Languages</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Hokkien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hokkien</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Taiwanese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Taiwanese</a>

Nithin Coca నితిన్<a href="https://mastodon.online/@jkn" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jkn</a> I've always been under the impression (and noticed in my travels) that <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Taiwanese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Taiwanese</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Hokkien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hokkien</a> is more widely used in the South, no? Or do you mean the dialect itself is unique compared to your Hokkien?

Adrianna TanExcellent news. I recently completed a six month online program with a Taiwanese language teacher in Kaohsiung. It was very good for me as I already read Chinese characters and speak Taiwanese as a heritage speaker. I constantly despaired that it would seem so insurmountable for someone to pick it up from scratch. Gotta check out the programs at Berkeley, close to home <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Languages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Languages</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Chinese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chinese</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Cantonese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cantonese</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Taiwanese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Taiwanese</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Hokkien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hokkien</a><a href="https://mstdn.social/@davidonformosa/113537141930967459" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mstdn.social/@davidonformosa/113537141930967459</a>

Adrianna TanI’ve been listening to a podcast called Dear Han People that’s a riff on Dear White People, but from Indigenous Taiwanese people to Han Chinese folks. Mandarin-only, sometimes some Taiwanese, but very very good. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Languages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Languages</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Podcasts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Podcasts</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indigenous</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Taiwan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Taiwan</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Mandarin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mandarin</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Chinese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chinese</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Taiwanese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Taiwanese</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Hokkien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hokkien</a>

Adrianna TanI found a cool website for learning Taiwanese through Hokkien music videos and their transcription. This probably only works if you (1) can already read / write Chinese characters (2) already speak Hokkien but can write it. So, for heritage speakers like me. I already have lots of personal projects but it’ll be fun to do this when I have some down time. Might be fun to surprise my parents with my knowledge of the songs they love. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Languages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Languages</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Taiwan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Taiwan</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Taiwanese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Taiwanese</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/hokkien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hokkien</a>

Elizabeth Tai | 戴秀铃 🇲🇾A great podcast to understand why various Chinese dialects (or rather, languages), came to be spoken in Malaysia.Ps: My ancestors prob came during the wave of migration after the collapse of the Ming dynasty.

Adrianna TanLearning I have ‘character amnesia’ as I start to do my Taiwanese Hokkien written homework. Also, I’ve not written traditional characters (I went to school for simplified), so it’s extra work too<a href="https://www.goldthread2.com/culture/are-chinese-people-forgetting-how-write/article/3011174" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.goldthread2.com/culture/are-chinese-people-forgetting-how-write/article/3011174</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Languages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Languages</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Taiwanese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Taiwanese</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Hokkien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hokkien</a>

Adrianna TanI’ve found the transit content made for me: a Taiwanese YouTube channel called ‘bo si zor ba si’ (nothing to do, let’s take the bus) which is presented mostly in Taigi / Taiwanese (Hokkien, literally my mother tongue)Lots of bus videos around the south of Taiwan, which is also my favorite parts of it (better food and more Taigi spoken there than in the north)<a href="https://youtu.be/LGXFztdWCsk?si=J2Qqrq73t3Q-nmaJ" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/LGXFztdWCsk?si=J2Qqrq73t3Q-nmaJ</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Transit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Transit</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Taiwan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Taiwan</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Chinese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chinese</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Hokkien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hokkien</a>

Elizabeth Tai | 戴秀铃 🇲🇾An explanation of the Peranakans - my ancestors were <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Chinese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chinese</a> from the Fujian province who came to Malaysia around 200 years ago and settled in Penang. There is another older branch of Peranakans in Malacca who came around the 1600s,some said during the expedition of the legendary Chinese admiral Zheng He. Both groups have intermarried with local Malay women. Unlike the Malacca Peranakans, the Penang ones can still speak a Chinese language - <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Hokkien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hokkien</a> (one of the oldest dialects in <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/China" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#China</a>).

Elizabeth Tai | 戴秀铃 🇲🇾Omg don't get me started with the 101 ways we call aunt and uncle in Hokkien. I could NEVER remember which one to use. Aunt: Tua Ee, (insert number) ee, a-Kim, etc Uncle: A-pek, a-tiao, kuku, a-chek etc What we call them depends on whether they belong to the paternal or maternal side, and also by their seniority in the family.
