Meanings and usage

noun: business; trade, livelihood; work
生理

The single Teochew reading covers many senses (physiology, livelihood, work, hope of survival, business, etc.); the 'business/trade' sense was chosen because it is explicitly tagged as Teochew/Hokkien/Hakka colloquial usage, but the page doesn't confirm this is the only sense attested in Teochew.
