Module talk:zh/data/dial-syn/女兒

I'm not sure the comment 女=囡 is valid. They have different readings and senses and also 囡 = 囝, not 女.--Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 07:58, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Chaozhou and Shantou
Do you have a source for 查某囝 for Chaozhou and Shantou? All sources I have suggest only 走囝 is used. RcAlex36 (talk) 05:57, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 走囝 is a contraction of 查某囝. I guess we could change it to 走囝. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 06:02, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Hong Kong Cantonese
Should 女女 and 阿女 be included? If yes, we should also add 仔仔 and 阿仔 to Module:zh/data/dial-syn/兒子. RcAlex36 (talk) 05:40, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think they can be. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 05:43, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Penang Hokkien
If you look at the online Penang Hokkien dictionary, it lists "cau1wa4" as a term for "daughter", but does not give the Chinese characters. Do you by any chance know what the Chinese characters are? The dog2 (talk) 20:18, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * It looks like it's a contraction of 查某仔. In Teochew, a similar contraction is written as 走仔, so I think we can either use 查某仔 or 走仔. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 20:23, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Philippine Hokkien
I see you added 查某囝 5 years ago here. I don't think that's used in the Philippines. For us, 囝 is mainly "son", so "male". Do you mean you personally say this? Mar vin kaiser (talk) 15:39, 18 March 2024 (UTC)


 * @Mar vin kaiser I've heard of it before 查某囝 tsa-bó-kiáⁿ. My parents sometimes use that along with 查某仔 tsa-bó-á with the latter being more frequent in our family. I remember my parents' boomer Hokkien-speaking friends before also said those before. I would hear 查某囝 tsa-bó-kiáⁿ more especially if they were the type to also call 囝 as kiáⁿ more than káⁿ. My parents also interchange between kiáⁿ and káⁿ for 囝 with the former being what I hear more frequently, then I think maybe my mom says the latter more sometimes. Recently, the boomer guy renting the floor below in the building I live at recently talked to me in Hokkien when he went to check the floor he was renting sometimes and he seems like he primarily uses káⁿ for 囝. I asked my atsi last night about it and she says she remembers hearing 查某囝 tsa-bó-kiáⁿ from our late ama 阿媽 before who traces back ancestry to tsuí-thâu 水頭 in Coastal Lâm-oaⁿ 南安 and I asked my dad online with voice msgs since he isnt home these days and he knew of 查某囝 tsa-bó-kiáⁿ, despite him mainly using 查某仔 tsa-bó-á. The other people I hear use kiáⁿ for 囝 and 查某囝 tsa-bó-kiáⁿ, I'm not sure sometimes if they really think 囝 is just solely for "son" or also for any "child" in general, since I usually hear these words when boomers talk about how many children each others have and they count first how many 囝 kiáⁿ then later when someone has clarified the exact sex of each child, they shift to saying 查某囝 tsa-bó-kiáⁿ for daughters, then another will later talk about, gún--ê 查某仔 tsa-bó-á ..., then later someone will talk about their nn̄g--ê gín-á 囡仔, then next person will point out, dí--ê kín-á 囡仔 sǐ blablabla, then later my mom will tell my dad, in--ê kán-á 囡仔 sǐ this and that. These are some situations I have heard before while sitting in a round table with other people in some chinese restaurants in some association event or something like that. These past weeks even, I've been going to eat at some chinese restaurants like somewhere in Banawe or just by the street around E. rod. sr. ave. near qc sports club, and sometimes at night, there would be some random boomers or gen X or a few elderlies maybe talking to their family or other boomer friend loudly in Hokkien with them thinking the waiters and others would not understand them, but I would overhear them on the next table and understand what I heard if they were loud enough. I think the other day there was such a scenario I overheard of. Mlgc1998 (talk) 02:00, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
