Etymology
- "(Hokkien) often"
- The first character has an irregular pronunciation in this word. The Taiwanese-Japanese Dictionary (1932) considers it to be borrowed from Mandarin. Along with John Macgowan's "English and Chinese Dictionary of the Amoy Dialect" (1883), they both interpret chhiâng-chāi as "constantly present", but modern dictionaries, such as 《台灣話大詞典》, assign siông-chāi to that sense.
Pronunciation
Note:
- chhiâng-chāi — "often", obsolete for "to exist always";
- chhêng-chāi — variant for "often".
