Had my first early #Christmas get-together on Saturday evening. The closer to Christmas, the busier people are, and the worse traffic gets. So we like to be early. 🤪

'Twas a lovely evening. 😊
I learned something new!

Mi-sòaⁿ Chhin / 麵線親 / 面线亲

I'm translating it as "noodle relative/s". 😄 It's about relations like in #SixDegrees but with some relatives in the [thin] connecting threads. #Chinese #Fujian #Minnan #Hokkien #family

Do you folks have a similar thing in your #language? 😃

Wild scenes in my #Taiwanese / #Hokkien / #Minnan textbook.

"Chhù-lāi hit saⁿ chiah niáu-chhí, in-ūi i bē-hiáu phah, o͘-pe̍h phah, só͘-í kàu lō͘-bóe lóng phah-bô-pòaⁿ-chiah."

"He struck wildly at those 3 rats in the house, and at the end didn't hit a single one because he doesn't know how to hit them."
