零下

This entry is flagged for review.

Pronunciation

Peng'im: lêng5 ê6
POJ: lêng-ě
Variety: chaozhou

Meanings and usage

adjective: subzero, below zero
零下

1 candidate reading from Wiktionary — genuine Chaozhou colloquial form not yet confirmed by a speaker. Split into sense-specific entries because 零下 has two distinct senses on the source page ('subzero' and a Teochew-specific 'sometimes; occasionally'); only the lêng5 ê6 reading is attested for this 'subzero' sense, so the lang5 ê7 candidate was dropped from this entry.

Usage: attributive
