SRC Member Dazza Posted August 19, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted August 19, 2004 Subject: Hokkien what a simple and beautiful language! ----- In Hokkien ----- There was an old man who was hit by a can thrown by someone from a flat upstairs. So he called a neighbour to get his grandson. He told the neighbour to relay the following message to his grandson: "Kong kong kong, kong kong kong kong, kong kong kong kong." Do you know what the old man was trying to say? What he said would mean, with different Hokkien tones used for each word: "Grandpa says, a can knocked Grandpa. Grandpa is giddy."
