Notes.

(1) Adjectives generally take {kuh} after them; the kuh 個

standing between the adjective and the noun. In some cases the

kuh is omitted, as in the expression {°lang °s} (冷水), “cold

water.” We do not say {°lang kuh °s}.

(2) {Dok-su} (讀書) is the common expression for “to study.”

(3) In such a sentence as “I want warm water” the {°ngoo} (我) may

be omitted. In speaking to a servant one would say {iau° nyih

°s} (要熱水), “I want hot water.”
