使

This entry is flagged for review.

Pronunciation

Peng'im: sai2
POJ: sái
Variety: chaozhou

Meanings and usage

verb: to use; to employ, to order; to send (someone), to let; to cause
使

1 of 2 candidate readings from Wiktionary confirmed for this sense — genuine Chaozhou colloquial form not yet confirmed by a speaker. Split into two entries because the dossier ties sai2 and sai3 to two distinct pos blocks/senses of 使 (this one covers 'to use/order/let'; sai3 covers 'envoy; messenger'), not a duplicated literary/colloquial pair.
