歹

adjective: bad, spoiled, broken
壞, 不好

Examples

• 歹儂 (pai2 nang5) — a bad person
• 魚歹去 (he5 pai2 ke3) — The fish has gone off.

prefix: hard to, unpleasant to (before a verb)
難

Filed as a productive prefix — the antonym of the 好- frame the dataset already records as 好食, 好看 and 好聽 — on the strength of the parallel Hokkien pattern (cf. pháiⁿ-tsia̍h, pháiⁿ-khòaⁿ), which is fully productive there. But that parallel cuts both ways: 好食, 好看 and 好聽 are each filed in this dataset as their own lexicalised adjective entry, not as a sense of 好, precisely because they read as fixed words rather than a live 好- + V pattern. Whether 歹食 is similarly fixed (favouring its own entry, as 好食 got) or genuinely productive (favouring the prefix sense recorded here) is not confirmed for Teochew — see REVIEW.md.

Examples

• 歹食 (pai2 ziah8) — bad-tasting, unpalatable
