Notes.
(1) Verbs undergo no change in form for the singular and plural
number. Tense formation will be explained later.
(2) The verb {°yeu} is often used for the expression “there is.”
Thus, {°yeu ih-kuh nyung iau° doong-dien} (有一個人要銅錢) means,
“There is a man who wants cash.”
(3) {°yeu kuh} (有個) means “some.” Thus {°yeu kuh nyung} (有個人) is
“some men.”
(4) Sometimes the {kuh} is omitted and we have {°yeu nyung}. Thus
{°yeu nyung iau° yang-dien} (有人要洋錢) means, “some man want
dollars.”
