Pronunciation

Peng'im: tiah4
POJ: thiah
Variety: chaozhou

Meanings and usage

verb: to take apart; to demolish, to purchase (colloquial)
拆

The Teochew tiah4 reading is described as covering both a 'take apart/demolish/tear' sense and a distinct 'to purchase' sense together, paralleling Hokkien thiah, so it is unclear which is the more central meaning without further context.
