khui-sí
You say khui-sí personally? I've never heard it ever. Mar vin kaiser (talk) 23:50, 10 February 2024 (UTC)


 * @Mar vin kaiser ha? you've never heard that? I usually remember hearing it from some old women like some middle aged women relatives or maybe my sien-si tutor before or maybe also some old women stall vendor before. I remember this word from the voice of an old or middle aged woman I've heard of before, like di khui-si tshong or in khui-si lai or some such. I asked my dad this morning now "ano khui-si?" he said "khui-si? umpisa." Then, he started using it later while he talked about stuff. It's one of those average everyday words I've often heard of elsewhere or in my family, people interchange in their speech, sometimes one uses khai-si, then the same person uses khui-si a few mins or some hours later for the same idea.

 * I see. Let me ask around. (Just goes to show that we have many subvarieties even within our Filipino-Chinese community in Metro Manila. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 15:35, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @Mar vin kaiser yeah, I bet it's kind of like the difference among Hokkien varieties in Singapore, Indonesia, Taiwan, Malaysia, where there are common words due to common country/, history, and overall perception of one community, with a sort of polarities due to the family origins to the historical places in but people also intermarried and intermixed their speech since they heard and thought some words and how its said are equally possible or interchangeable under one language as this and that too are "Hokkien", but unlike Taiwan with a big north to south and coastal to inland spectrum facing from the Taiwan Strait, the big Hokkien spectrum south of Taiwan is instead the entire  (Malay Peninsula(Malaya + ) + Malay Archipelago) facing from the South China Sea with the:
 * Northeastern region (with Quanzhou descendants) as:
 * the
 * spreading to n & Bruneian Borneo and Singapore
 * possibly Indonesian Kalimantan, Sulawesi, to Java as well
 * Central region (with Amoy-Tung'an descendants) as:
 * Singapore
 * Malaysian to  or most of  state
 * probably a similar spread from Singapore to the northern coasts of Malaya region from  to
 * Indonesian, province of  to  and maybe sparsely
 * probably island, particularly among  speakers around Jakarta and likely towards Surabaya
 * n & Bruneian Borneo

 * the southern coasts of Myanmar somewhat around Yangon and surrounding southern areas.
