Ok, let us table a record here in this forum. For people who do a websearch, can find it's meaning here:
ã€�çƒ�肚番】// É” tÉ” huan , É”¹ tÉ”³ huan¹ // â‘ a Burmese â‘¡ Describe a unreasonable person

Yes, Dialects are very important.
Many Singaporeans still thought that speaking English make them look high class and speaking mandarin or dialects make them look low class.
I went to China my very 1st time to visit my relatives who stay in teochew areas.
One thing shock me was that almost 90% of the world products are produced in China.
The interesting fact is the Owners of the big manufactoring companies only speak teochews and mandarin is used only to communicate to other dialect groups from other part of China.
Lucky I am good in my Teochew so i build repport with them.
If you believe that You will be jobless when your age is there, and need to find own line of business or go China to find lobang.... buck up your dialect and mandarin! and then go China!!

good on you.

I can't really break it up. Do you mind giving me the morpheme boundaries? Or if I try, let's say:
- lai chee - I hope you are trying to say �� lai tsi？
- chui - Are you trying to say å–™ tsh'ui ("mouth") or æ°´ tsui ("water")?
- bay ang - I hope you are trying to say 未紅 ("not yet red")?
- or kow - I hope you are trying to say �狗 ("black dog")?
- ka - I hope you are trying to say å’¬ ("bite")?
- tew lang - I hope you are tring to say 丈儂 tĩũ lang ("father in law")?

Please enlighten me.
you get it there more or less, was in a hurry yesterday.
è�”æž�æ ‘å°¾çº¢
�狗咬丈儂
when the lychee ripen
the guard dog will be out even you are the father in law.
can't remember the rest of the verse, the last time I talked about it was in the late 40s with grandma.
This particular verse is about how son in law mustn't mistreat his father in law.

Your memory must be damn good man.
Ok let's table this down, until I come across resources relating to this.
(I want want to reconfirm: the morpheme boundaries are: /��/ /樹尾/ 紅 or /��樹/ /尾紅/ ？ Because this will affect the tone sandhi)
��樹尾紅 lai 21 tsi 22 tsh'iu 21 be 53 ang 24
�狗咬丈儂 or 22 kau 53 ka 21 tĩũ 21 lang 24

ok should be /��/ /樹尾/ 紅
lychee branches end are red, ie with ripe fruits.
another term seldom hear now: 大心气 tua sim kui
