The most stark contrast is $$$

Here we call it "Lui" transliteration from Duit.

Proper cantonese is Chin.

A lot of subtle difference la, but Malaysian generally very flexible can mix match and guess the meaning. Our education system also encourage a lot of guess work in communication, we are moulded to conform to others instead of taking the effort to use the "correct" way.

Each ringgit comprises 100 sen, which is known in Penang Hokkien as lui1. Therefore, lui1 can mean money and can also mean sen. "No money" in Penang Hokkien is boh3 lui1 . To be "well off" in Penang Hokkien is uh33 lui1 (literally, "got money"). To make money, or to earn a profit, is than1 lui1 ; so, to not make any profit is boh3 than1 lui1 .

And it's the same for non-penang hokkiens tongue.gif

this is because Taiping got canto n hokkien
So the grammar is mixed.
Teh peng is hokkien.

Teh is cha
Peng is suet.... Sort of

So those hokkien speaker direct translate
*
I always find hokkien abit weird.

Even mandarin

Ice tea = bing cha (yes not suet cha, but at least same arrangement)

So not only their arrangement is different, the word tea is also different.
