This past weekend, I took a break from working on the site because I was visiting family. Today I added some more translations:
- to cut (with a knife)
- messy
- itchy
- sharp
- road
And I also added another translation for "is" (oi6), with an explanation on when to use si6 and when to use oi6.
I'm also now displaying the traditional characters on the translation page if it differs from simplified. Eventually I want to make it an option to be able to show traditional by default.

More translations!
- this way
- to accompany (food pairing)
- rice with eggs
- more or less
- to scratch
I also added another translation to "to remember"

I've added a bunch of grammar-y things:
- question particle
- classifier (for round objects)
- classifier (for large objects or animals)
- a car
- to know (familiar with someone or something)
- type, kind
- many kinds of things
- to add (to a food or a mixture)
- place
Some of those words are italicized, which means it isn't a direct translation, but more like a definition because it's hard to come up with a direct translation. I noticed that wiktionary does this, so I've added the feature here as well.

After listening to a previous conversation with my aunt, I think I understand the difference between chiu1 gue1 and gak(8) gue1. So both are in the database now! (under the word "luffa"). I've also added these other translations
- lazy
- here
- there
- how (to what degree)
- how large
- how late
- how high

More translations!
- wet
- last night
- bitter
- to peel (with a blade)
- mango
And I also unhid "towel gourd". I'm not really sure if "towel gourd" is the best main word for this. I might switch it to luffa or Chinese okra but I'm still trying to understand what exactly is gak8 gue1? More to come on that later.
I was curious how many translations I've added to the site, and while it's impossible to get an exact number, I did write up some SQL to get an approximation. It's now listed on the About page!
