Hi,

Is anyone know how to speak "God of Gambler" in hokkien?
what is Tu Pa Kui mean? is it meaning the same thing?

Thanks for your help

I appreciate it

I heard of 'kiau2 kui3' (ghost of gambling) but never 'god of gambler". Btw is it Tu Pak Kai, the pig character in Journey to the West?

I have always wondered where the word 'adik' came from. Don't we call our younger brother 'Ah Ti' when used in direct speech and 'Siow Ti' in indirect speech?
