I did not know our dialect group determines our root. All the while I thought it was Mandarin. See how successful the propaganda of that bitch old lee is. He has the cheek to try to erode the root by telling people to speak Mandarin and not dialects at home. Who does he think he is to run the life of Singaporeans??? He shall pay for his karma for this.

��雅疑】 teŋ ŋa gi
think this is a double translate from pua soew pua tien to tengah gila and shorten to tengah gi.
Hokkien term is kong kam.

you are rightit was shortened from "setenga gila" and due to hokkien not familiar with such long syllable chain, dropped the "se-" and the "-la"
there is a equivalent usage called ���疑】

It's not part of Taiwan in the past.It was only when the Kuomintang settled on Quemoy then became Taiwan, more of administrative rather than linguistical.
Ang Kuay is a perferture of its own, just that on linguistical classification it belongs to the same group as ChuanChew only.
Regarding you "Zit Kang" query, I have answered it many pages back, all Hokkien groups including even Fuchow and Teochew and JianOu, uses the term.

Oh ya, i forgot about that. So far I have not heard Teochew say "zit kang". Sometimes the kind of accent in the hokkien of some hokkien groups make it difficult for understanding. -

perhaps some accent is hard to understand. example ChiaoAn and EngChoon from both ends may sound a little bit hard on speakers attuned to Amoy variety -
