Meanings and usage

adjective: young
少年, 年輕

The single Teochew pronunciation on the page is shared by both a Noun sense ('youth; young man') and an Adjective sense ('young', tagged literary/Hokkien); the adjective sense was chosen as more distinctively Southern-Min/Teochew-colloquial, but the noun sense is an equally plausible match.

Usage: literary
