Hello butties
in order to help chiu all understand our languich
i hab put a guide here
General tips for understanding Tangish :
1. Replace the letter "L" with the letter "R" and pronounce accordingly.
eg. Look -> Rook, Lock -> Rock, Plus -> Prus
2. Add the letter "S" in front of words that start with "ex".
eg. Expose -> Sexpose, Experience -> Sexperience
3. Spell the word backwards.
eg. Slow -> Wols
4. Many terms are simply mispronounced words and spelled to reflect that pronunciation.
Just say the word out loud and you will probably know what it means.
It helps alot if you understand hokkien.
eg. Why -> Huai, What -> Huat, Is -> Ish, Clone -> Krone
