Talk:乜嘢嘢

RFD discussion: February 2020–December 2021
This seems to be SoP: 乜嘢 (what) + 嘢 (thing) = "what thing". It's analogous to 什麼東西 in Mandarin, which is clearly SoP. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 08:34, 26 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep, I think it is a term meaning just "what" in Guangzhou dialect which has identical meaning to 乜嘢/乜 in some other Cantonese dialects. Sun8908 (talk) 02:09, 23 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Do you have an example of its use in Guangzhou dialect? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 04:45, 23 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep as an idiomatic construction. Readers cannot infer from 乜嘢 and 嘢 that 乜嘢嘢 can be used to simply mean "what".Jonashtand (talk) 06:24, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Is it actually just "what"? It's hard to distinguish "what" from "what thing". — justin(r)leung { (t...) 06:28, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
