limyee Posted April 21, 2014 at 05:32 PM Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 at 05:32 PM I remember when I used to be in a Chinese school me and my friends say xiao xiao when someone goes crazy and even heard something like xiao liang. I am trying to figure out the right characters for it but I am not sure if my pingyin was right or if it is a slang word. Has anyone used these words before?

Lu Posted April 21, 2014 at 05:38 PM Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 at 05:38 PM I know a Taiwanese (Minnan) word that sounds like xiāo means crazy. I don't remember the character, unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geiko Posted April 21, 2014 at 05:53 PM Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 at 05:53 PM Could it be 痟? There's also 痟痟 (siáu siáu) and 痟人 (siáu lâng) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lu Posted April 22, 2014 at 08:33 AM Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 at 08:33 AM I think Geiko is right. Limyee, do you know what dialect your friends speak? Judging from your name here, it might well be Minnanese (Taiwanese/Hokkien). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging from your name here, it might well be Minnanese (Taiwanese/Hokkien). Oh, probably my friend used his Taiwanese Dialect. I just assumed he was saying a Mandarin word because our school uses Mandarin >w< Thank you for reminding me~ ○◘○◘○○◘○◘○ Could it be 痟? There's also 痟痟 (siáu siáu) and 痟人 (siáu lâng) Thank you Geiko! Probably these were the words my friend used. ○◘○◘○○◘○◘○ Could if be 囂 as in 囂張? Thank you skylee but is there any double meaning to the word 囂張? I tried looking at my dictionary and it said the meaning was arrogant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
