What does tei mean in Shanghai dialect?

Some people even think that Jinshan dialect is a branch of Songjiang dialect, but it is still very different from Songjiang dialect, so it is classified as an independent dialect and cannot communicate with other dialects in Shanghai. If Jinshan people and Jiading people get married and can't communicate in language, it is definitely not a joke. Although the number of speakers is small, it is a relatively stable dialect except Chongming dialect because of its small image in urban areas and other provinces and cities.

Shanghai dialect was once considered as one of the most influential and representative dialects in Wu dialect. Due to the rapid changes brought about by population integration and the implementation of Putonghua, Shanghai dialect has changed rapidly compared with other Wu dialects. Compared with other Wu dialects, it has lost its representativeness and characteristics. The phenomenon of lazy voice is very serious. Young people's ability of Wu dialect is generally low, and people begin to doubt the representative position of Shanghai dialect. However, in the past two decades, due to the popularity of and dependence on Mandarin, the ability of Shanghai dialect to create words has seriously declined, and only one style has emerged, "Don't be too special?" And a handful of new words such as "Taohu". Due to the lack of mother tongue education, there is a phenomenon of "lazy pronunciation" in Wu dialect to varying degrees. For example, the former Shanghai dialect has almost disappeared, and Suzhou dialect has also begun to appear this phenomenon. It is very common to pronounce the self-proclaimed pronoun "I" ngu as Wu in Shanghai dialect. In addition, the phenomenon of turbidity mixing also occurs from time to time, such as "period".
