What does it mean if you buy dry wine without it? Is there anything special about it?

Sell me the bottle when you finish the wine

The meaning of the sentence "If the wine is dry, sell it for nothing"

So, why do you suddenly think of this song? ? This is because I remembered the topics about this song: wine, dry wine, dry wine, if it is sold, if it is sold without... and so on, these foreigners sound hesitant and intermittent sentences, which gave me the idea of ????writing "Hokkien". The idea of ??writing a short article "Lin's Interesting Words".

Friends who often read newspapers may remember that a few years ago, these hesitant and intermittent sentences once became the "Luminous Cup" column of a newspaper in southern my country on the pretext of the song "If the wine is dry and sold for nothing" Dedicate an entire page and several articles to this Hokkien topic. In the whole page of articles, except for the correct explanation of wine, there is no article that correctly explains the original meaning and original meaning of the sentence "If the wine is sold dry, it will be empty." Most opinions believe that "wine is dry" means that the wine has been dried; "wine is dry if" means that a little bit of it is left to "flow"; "wine...sell without" is the inversion of "sell without wine"... Like this, analysis It has to be delicious. I believe that people who are familiar with the Hokkien dialect will burst into laughter after hearing this analysis!

As we all know, to study any language, you must first be familiar with it. In the same way, how can you study Hokkien without being familiar with it? "If dried wine is sold for nothing", it was originally a business saying used to sell goods on the streets in southern Fujian and Taiwan. At that time, because the song "If dried wine is sold for nothing" was sung in the streets and alleys all over the country, some literati thought it was strange and changed their minds. Yin Zhixin began to study this sentence, which is very common in Taiwan and southern Fujian. They did not know that this kind of "street language" is inexhaustible and difficult to study thoroughly. Besides, when studying every sentence in southern Fujian, you should first be familiar with and understand its usage environment and word structure, otherwise you will definitely make a joke. For example, if you are really qualified to study the lyrics of "If the wine is dry, it will be sold without", then you should at least use the words that can be accurately disconnected, combined, and derived from the original words: wine, wine is dry, dry wine, dry; if, If you, if you are not sold, if you are sold, if you are not sold, have not sold, if you sell, sell, sell, sell well, sell it, have no selling ... and so on. Interesting? The sentence "If you sell dry wine without it" is just five words, it can be broken down into so many words and phrases at once. This also shows that the study of Hokkien requires the accumulation of a considerable amount of Hokkien words in order to accurately decompose more Hokkien word combinations and clarify its true meaning.

After separating the correct words, study its original meaning and original meaning. In the Hokkien dialect, "jiu" is the general name for all kinds of wine that people drink daily; what is "jiugan"? This is the southern Hokkien term that foreigners least understand - empty wine bottle; "dry wine" is the inverted expression of "dry the wine" in southern Hokkien; the original meaning of "if" is yes; "wuyi" is affirmation The words "can't" and "shouldn't"; "youyi" is a question, is there anything that can...how?; "wuyi" is also an affirmative word, nothing can...how; "youyibuy" is an affirmative sentence, there is What can be bought; "If you have to sell" is also an affirmative sentence, what can be sold; "Buy nothing" means you can't buy it; "Sell nothing" means different meanings according to the tone: if the tone is light, it means sold out or sold. The serious tone is to ask "Is there anything I can sell?" At this point, the original meaning of the sentence "If the dried wine is sold without" is derived, that is, "Is there any empty wine bottle for sale?"

The key word in the sentence "If you sell dry wine without it" is "empty wine bottle", once you understand the central meaning, you will be able to get the meaning right no matter how you segment the sentence. It would be correct to shout "Are there any empty wine bottles for sale?" So, how to answer "if you sell dry wine"? It can be "have", "if you sell", "sell without", "sell", "sell without"...etc., they also focus on the central meaning. Another thing to note is that "sell nothing" is a question. If the answer is "sell nothing", the modal particle "la" becomes the keyword "sold out".

It can be seen from this that every sentence and every word in the southern Fujian dialect has a strict logical meaning, and there are many masters of one sentence among them, who can be imitated.
