god... where can i find a fu-king online dictionary of some sort? sheesh

how do you write the word 'very' in hokkien? it sounds like 'ya'.... or at least that's how it is with filipino hokkien ppl...

this is fu-king driving me crazy...

'ya' like, 'ya sho' means really hot and 'ya dua' means really spicy... ;__;

"very" in putonghua is "hen"

the degrees goes something like this

1. hen (very)
2. hao (highly)
3. zhen (truly)
4. fei chang (extremely)
5. ji de (insanely)

I'd say it is very hard to translate a taiwanese (hokkien, if you wanna be anal about it) into english words and actually help you pronounce it.
