Billy shit, love is busy, touches the ground

The slogan of a Hakka-language elementary school in Taiwan made me laugh out loud. No wonder I told my grandmother (grandmother): I am going to study in Belgium, but she has never understood @@

Before explaining the joke, let me say something serious:


Belgium (Belgium, België):

"Belgium's name comes from the Roman era in the 3rd century BC, when barbarians lived here, and it was called Belgian Gaul ( Latin : Gallia Belgica ) by the Romans , literally Belgian Gaul .

The Chinese translation of "Belgium" comes from " Ying Huan Zhi Lue " compiled by Xu Jiyu in 1849. "

from Wikipedia

Etymology:

I learned it during my homework assignment in my first cultural integration class.

Belg- or Bolg- means swell, especially the swelling of the face when angry or fighting.

Billy shit (Hakka dialect):

Billy shit: last place

Aisha Busy: Work hard

Touch: Do you know?


Chat with grandpa and grandma

You can refer to the Dongkeng Road in the memory of my previous article


Last year, when I went back to my hometown in Kansai, I wanted to tell my grandpa and grandma that I was going to study in Belgium. My grandpa immediately caught him where Belgium was in Europe. Although he was only educated in a public school during the Japanese occupation, my grandma didn’t understand it at all. .

My grandfather's Hakka language speaks Raoping accent, and my grandma speaks Hailu accent.

Then my grandpa kept telling her: Your grandson is going to study with Billy shit.

Grandma: Where is it?

Grandpa: Billy shit

Grandma: ? ? (Last one to read??)

At that time, everyone burst into laughter. I thought it was my grandma who was listening hard, or did I really not know where Belgium was?

Now I finally know, Grandma thought I was the last in school@@


words of encouragement for myself


Belgium is tired, Aisha is busy, and touches the ground: Now that you are in Belgium, you have to work hard, you know?
