🗣 Svaf laang kang go bak, jidau bøo tngtefkha'oe. 🗣 (u: Svaf laang kang go bak, jit'au bøo tngg'tea'khaf'oe.) 三人共五目，日後無長短跤話。 [wt][mo] [h] [[m]] [[u]] [d#]

三個人總共五隻眼睛 ， 以後不能再說長道短 。 原故事為媒人婆替兩腳一長一短的青年 ， 與瞎了一隻眼的女子相親 ， 媒人為促成婚事 ， 故意隱藏雙方的缺陷 ， 在結婚前以雙關語說在場三人總共五隻眼睛 ， 決定的事情日後便不得再說長就短 。 比喻共同商議後所做的決定 ， 事後不得反悔 。

🗣 tngtefkha'oe 🗣 (u: tngg'tea'khaf'oe) 長短跤話 [wt][mo] [h] [[m]] [[u]] [d#]

異議 。 抱怨的話 。 源於民間笑譚的一句俚諺 ：「 三人共五目 ， 日後無長短跤話 。」( sann lâng kāng gōo ba̍k , ji̍t - āu bô tn̂g - té - kha uē .) 相傳有一位媒婆 ， 撮合一位跛腳青年與單眼失明的女子 ， 經過巧妙設計相親方式 ， 兩人皆只看到對方優點 ， 未見缺陷 ， 彼此有意結緣 ， 媒婆乃向雙方言明此語 ， 意思是話說前頭 ， 大家心甘情願 ， 以後不得有抱怨的話 。
