Reply to your note Explanation: According to my Taiwanese wife and a couple of Taiwanese co-workers, "A" means "steal", but as I understand it there is no Chinese character to write it, so letters, or sometimes bopomofo, is used. There are quite a few Taiwanese (hokkien/minnan) words that have no characters, and in my study book, they are rendered using a romanization system (quite different from pinyin due to the different sounds). |
