Fujian dialect translation

Hello, Fujian dialect refers to Minnan dialect, but there are many languages. There are a large number of language words in Fujian dialect that are common in this dialect area but rare in other dialects. These dialect words have two characteristics: first, they inherit many ancient words, and second, they have many monosyllabic words. For example, "eggs" (eggs). "Mu" (mesh), "dirt" (dirt), "exposure" (sun exposure) and "beating" (beating) can all be found in ancient books, and they are also monosyllabic words. In addition, some Fujian dialect words are borrowed from foreign languages. Most of these loanwords are borrowed from Indonesian-Malay, which forms a unique color in the vocabulary of Min language. For example, in Xiamen dialect, "Wen Xue" (soap) comes from sabon, "Dao Lang" (help) comes from tolong, "Dongge" (cane) comes from tongkat, and "pour" comes from chium. There are also some dialect words whose origins are difficult to identify, such as "Yang" (flogging).
