does hokkien sound punk or something? i see teens everywhere only noe how to shout some hokkien vulgarities they dun understand. i was walking and some indian boy walked past me and scolded his fren kanina chaocheebai or something. i was like wtf? kelingkia also know. then i realised hokkien is becoming more and more mis/overused T.T
for example, if someone say hey xxx. u will answer what? or har? 1 syllable. now teens like to use simi taji. 4 syllable. waste breath lah. and i got the hang of the standard cursing format liao. u *insert hokkien vulgar directed and person * kanina ccb *insert hokkien vulgar directed at motherfathersisterbrother*wahlao eh.

its good that they speak it. preserve culture. but at least master ur own dialect well first before learning how to speak some other.
it's good that they speak.but no gd when they oni use the vulgarities, and most pple oni know those.

Its just another portal of communication...
my point is not that its wrong to speak dialects.. but its bad to abuse it and to learn it only for the vulgarities. and i can bet at least 2x more people scold knn rather than diu nei mou lou or wutever

1. i can tell u 99% of teens who speak hokkien only noe the vulgarities
2. even if they do speak.. i dun think speaking hokkien to ur peers sounds right.. usually to elders only right o.o
1. i can tell you that this is stereotyping.
2. Going by ur logic, the language will go extinct.
