Hi.
It's been a really long time since I last updated. Honestly, I can't work on this website while I have a full-time job. When I'm working on the Teochew site, it is my full-time job. But I have more time now, and I want to get back to this.
My Teochew is kind of terrible right now. I've lost a lot of what I learned a few years ago. So, no update yet, but I'm here! I want to make more updates and learn Teochew again! I haven't touched this code in over two years, so I need to re-familiarize myself with everything. But if you're reading this, thanks! Feel free to say Hi to me via email or on Discord. I'm in the Gaginang server.

I'm still here! I've just been trying to relax a little more since my sabbatical is nearing to and end. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to update the site once I have to start working a full time job again, but we'll see.
I've been tweaking how the compound word breakdowns are displayed. It was looking kinda bad on mobile, but it might be a little better now.
New translations:
- kitchen
- living room

This was one of those days where I started out doing one small thing, and then ended up down a long rabbit hole. I was researching the word 内 (lai6), and then before you know it, I've restructured the database again 😬. But the page for house now has more information on it!
New translations:
- to cook
- jicama
- hour
- minute
- inside

I have a big feature in the works. For some "compound" words, you can now see a breakdown of what each character means. Look at the page for hello or pink for a couple of examples! I did manually add these to the database, so it's going to be a long, kind of slow project to actually fill in this information for more words.
New translations:
- raw
- breakfast
- evening
- early
- noon

I have just about two weeks left in my sabbatical, and I'm trying to make sure I have everything sorted out so the updates are slowing down a bit. The one big change I added was that a translation will be shown directly if you search a word that's designated as a synonym of another word. So trying to translate "hi" will take you directly to the page for "hello" instead of showing search options.
New translations:
- straight
- don't need to
- to open, to turn on
- to bite
- to rise
- fruit
- You don't have to turn on the AC
