Pronunciation

Peng'im: hi1
POJ: hi

Meanings and usage

verb: to hope, to expect, to admire
希

As a standalone character, 希 has multiple senses (to hope/admire vs. a short form for 希臘 'Greece') and is mainly used as a bound morpheme, so it is unclear which sense the standalone Teochew reading foregrounds.
