This reminds me of another poem from the Book of Songs《詩經》國風：王風 · 黍離
知我者、謂我心憂，
不知我者、謂我何求。
悠悠蒼天、此何人哉。
Those who know me, whisper I bear sorrows;
Those who don’t know me, ask what I seek.
O distant Heaven, tell me what man (has brought us to this despair).
知我者、謂我心憂，
不知我者、謂我何求。
悠悠蒼天、此何人哉。
Those who know me, whisper I bear sorrows;
Those who don’t know me, ask what I seek.
O distant Heaven, tell me what man (has brought us to this despair).

I love Cantonese-Mandarin 粤式普通話
For example, 這是什麼來的 (what is this?) which ends with 來的 is not standard Mandarin from the north, but Mandarin influenced by the Cantonese construction 呢個係乜嘢嚟嘅 (what is this?) in which 嚟嘅 (synonym of 來的) serves as a modal particle to strengthen the tone of the sentence

My favorite use of 嗨：
自嗨 or 自high (“self-high”) 😅
This term started out as an internet slang around 2010 and is now widely used colloquially with a range of meanings—to get excited or hyper by oneself; to amuse or have fun by oneself; being self-indulgent or narcissistic
川普自嗨 Trump “self-high”

A big pet peeve of mine: using the character 游 for 遊 (旅游 instead of 旅遊)
The original form of this word “travel” in oracle bone and bronze inscriptions is 斿 (a child holding a flag and traveling)
Later scripts added 辶 (walk) → 遊 (travel) and 氵(water) → 游 (swimming) to differentiate the two meanings

In Taiwan, the Mandarin term 嗆聲 qiàng shēng or simply 嗆 means “to loudly provoke or confront”
TIL 嗆聲 is actually derived from the Taiwanese term 唱聲 chhiàng-siaⁿ which means “to threaten”
In Hokkien, chhiàng (唱) means “to call out with a loud voice”

In 1722 黃叔璥 Huang Shujing, a Mandarin-speaking Qing official, arrived Taiwan where he spent 2 years. He recorded in 臺海使槎錄 “Records from the mission to Taiwan and its Strait” (1736) how the language spoken by Taiwanese was totally unintelligible—like barbarian gibberish and birds talking (鴃舌鳥語，全不可曉)

自古逢秋悲寂寥

I say autumn days outshine spring morns
As a crane soars above the clouds in clear skies

A meditation by W.S. Merwin on nature and the inevitability of change in life, as he speaks directly to the light of September:
you appear to be only
a name that tells of you
but they all know
that you have come
you
who fly with them
the whispering birds
the fallen blue plums
perfect in the dew
you appear to be only
a name that tells of you
but they all know
that you have come
you
who fly with them
the whispering birds
the fallen blue plums
perfect in the dew
you who are neither before nor after
you who arrive with blue plums
that have fallen through the night
perfect in the dew
-W.S. Merwin, To the Light of September"

Interestingly, 港 (káng) in Taiwanese, besides meaning harbor (most common) or stream (dated), is also used as a classifier for fluids like water or wind which coincidentally is similar to how “stream” is used as a measure word in English (eg, a stream of tears)
Example
台語：電風捘(tsūn)較細港一下
華語：電風扇轉小一點

台語：電風捘(tsūn)較細港一下

TIL the Mongolian word тайван is a loan word from Chinese 太平 (tàipíng) and it means “peace,” “calmness,” and “tranquility”
Interestingly, in Bulgarian “Тайван” means Taiwan. These two words are unrelated and just happened to have the same spelling in Cyrillic
So in that spirit, тайван No. 1 😉

Okay, hear me out. In Hawaiian, Mahalo means thanks. In Taiwan’s indigenous Saisiyat (賽夏), ma'alo' means thanks and it comes from the root word 'alo' meaning blessing. In Hawaiian, it’s Aloha (good wishes)

In Taiwan 伴手禮 refers to gifts, usually local specialties bought on a trip that one brings back. 伴手禮 is derived from the Taiwanese term “phuānn-tshiú” 伴手 (gift)

“Home is where the heart is at peace”
此心安處是吾鄉
—from a poem by Song poet Su Shi 蘇軾 (1037–1101)
常羨人間琢玉郎，天應乞與點酥娘。盡道清歌傳皓齒，風起，雪飛炎海變清涼。
萬裡歸來顏愈少，微笑，笑時猶帶嶺梅香。試問嶺南應不好，卻道：此心安處是吾鄉。

Interesting thread on the “original” (pre-Han) meaning of 灋
In bronze inscription 灋 meant “to follow the example of” (效法); later (during Spring & Autumn and Warring States) it was also used as a homophonic substitute (通作) for 廢 which meant “great” (大) or “abandon” (背棄) depending on the context

Interestingly, the original meaning of the character 吃 (⿰口乞 or ⿰口气) means “to stutter” in which the phonetic component 乞 (气) could also add part of the meaning since it has the phonetically borrowed meaning of "begging" (i.e., trying to talk but with difficulties)
