   @chu wow this is so good, I was literally thinking about Hoklo/Hokkie; You are right in Taiwanese Hoklo we also use 攬 lam such as 我偕伊攬 （I hug him/her) , is this the same for Teochew (cue @skinnylatte here sorry)?
   So 抱 as hug must be Mandarin

     @kofanchen @chu hmm we use 抱 as well in Teochew and Hokkien but possibly a variant of Hokkien thing (we say ‘por’)

     @skinnylatte @chu Ah that is interesting! Would you be able to give a n sentence?🙏 I believe I would say 我抱囝仔 （I carry the kid/infant)

     @kofanchen @chu 伊愛別人抱伊 (i ai pa̍t-lâng phō i) (he wants someone else to carry him) is something I would say

     Interestingly phō is one of the ways to say 抱 so it might be a Quanzhou vs Zhangzhou accent thing

     @kofanchen @chu my Taigi teacher in Kaohsiung was saying parts of Taiwan had some words and terms diff from the north. I found the Kaohsiung and Tainan Taigi closer to what I speak so must be the same origin

     @skinnylatte 🤔 I guess this is not quite "hug"
     When @chu was talking about 攬
     I was thinking about this:
