- Eh Sai and Buay Sai
These are your most basic words. Ai, means “want”. Whereas, Mai, means “don’t want”. So, in future, if you’re bombarded with a sentence in Hokkien and you’re not sure, just say Mai and spare yourself the embarrassment.
You’ve probably heard or even used it before. Ai Mai, a combination of the previous 2 words, is usually used as a question to ask if you want something or not? Example: “We’re going to have supper after karaoke. Join us ah. Ai mai?”
Chut Mngis a term that’s used by the older generation that means “heading out” or “going out”. Example: “Ah boy, where you going? Everyday see you chut mng, you think my house is hotel is it?”
Stop giggling. Tit Tohis somewhat similar to Chut Mng, but its meaning is closer to “jalan jalan” or going out to have fun. Example: “Everyday chut mng tit toh, you a lot of money to spend is it?”
Jiak Hongliterally translates into “eating air”. The real meaning of the word is “to travel” or “holidaying”. Example: “Eh I saw Alex’s Instagram Story, he go to Switzerland to jiak hongor for exchange?”
Lor Hortranslates to “raining”. Example: “AH BOY FASTER HELP ME KEEP THE LAUNDRY!!! LOR HORALREADY!!!”
Jiak Pngis probably one of the most used Hokkien phrases. It directly translates to “eat rice” but it’s used to mean “have lunch/dinner” or “to eat”. Example: “Eh it’s 1pm already. Let’s go jiak png.”

Ho Seh Bois a greeting which means “How are you?” However, this would be better used when speaking to someone who is of the same age, or younger. When speaking to an elder, you should be using Li Ho Bowhich means “Are you well?” Example: “Wah bro, long time no see. Ho seh bo?”
Singaporeans who speak Hokkien love to use these. Eh Sai means “can”, and Buay Sai means “cannot”. Example: A: “Can I borrow your pen?” B: “Eh sai.” OR A: “Can I borrow your pen?” B: “Buay sai, cos I only have one.” However, if you’re using Eh Sai in the context of “can or not”, then Eh Sai needs to be complemented with “Buay” at the end.
