Meanings and usage

verb: to return, to go back, to give back
返

2 of the 3 candidate readings from Wiktionary confirmed for this general/literary sense — genuine Chaozhou colloquial form not yet confirmed by a speaker. The third candidate, deng2, is attested only for the separate sense of 返 as a colloquial alternative form of 轉 (see the other 返 entry), so this was split into two entries rather than merged.
