Word of the day / perpetrator
perpetrator = pháinn-lâng, thâi-lâng ê pháinn-lâng
thâi = use a knife to attach, to cut in order to make something die or end its life.
You could thâi-lâng
And you could thâi si-kue
si-kue = water melon
And I realize that there isn't many words in Tâigí that means bad guy. It seems that phiánn-lâng covers criminal, killer, homicide, perpetrator, villain.... and more.
(Is it because most people are nice and there is no need for various words of bad guy, bad person?)
I guess you could always add "iau-siū-kut" kind of term before phiánn-lâng to show how serious the situation is.
