The have you eaten is also used as a kind of a goodbye/goodnight/how are you (I'm not sure which as it's been a while since I asked my Ama and Akong) but essentially whenever I asked them how to translate one of those things from english to Taiwanese they said the kind of equivalent was jia ba bue- which might explain why the person waved while they said it.
I can understand most of the phrases. My parents come from Tong‘an Xiamen (廈門同安) in the Southern Min 閩南 region, so we have a different accent. Here are some: 1. 你很漂亮 - lih jin sui 3. 沒關係 - bue yao gin 4. 你好 - lih ho 6. 你要去哪裏 - lih berh kih doh lo 8. 你吃飽了嗎?- jia ba a berh 9. 你很帥 - lih jin yan dao 12. 謝謝 - gam sia
Sort of- as far as I can tell, it implies you’ve embarrassed yourself. It’s sort of like a combination of “excuse me” an”I’m sorry” and doesn’t translate to English 1.1 You can say it if you bump into someone on accident, or “paiseh, i don’t understand you”
@@ixc6732 yeah it can be. I never hear my family say “li hou” for hello but they’ll use other words phrases or greetings like “jia ba bweh” or “gai tsah” (good morning) instead
