Pronunciation

Peng'im: ki3

Variety: chaozhou

Meanings and usage

verb: to sigh
愾

1 candidate reading from Wiktionary — genuine Chaozhou colloquial form not yet confirmed by a speaker. The dossier ties this reading (ki3, 'to sigh', obsolete on its own in Standard Chinese) and the reading kai3 ('to hate/resent/be angry', literary) to two separate senses, so this word was split into two sense-specific entries.
