大喊十
daai6 haam3 sap6dà hǎn shí
English
- a crybaby; someone who makes a big fuss over nothing; someone who is just all talk and no action
- someone who cries easily; crybaby. Originated from the story of "The Ten Brothers", while the smallest brother crying all day, his tear is capable of healing. Literally, the crying tenth.
粵語 — Cantonese
- 郁啲就喊嘅人;源於影視作品《十兄弟》入面排第十、成日喊嘅孻仔,佢嘅眼淚有治療功效
Examples
好心你啦,唔好再成個大喊十咁,郁啲就喊足成日。
Oh come on, don't be a crybaby. This small issue isn't worth crying a whole day.
