Toaxkeq-køef ban thii. 🗣 (u: Toa'keq kef ban thii. Toa'keq-køef ban thii.) 大格雞慢啼。 [wt][mo] Tuā-keh ke bān thî. [#]: 1. () || 大骨架的公雞比較慢啼叫。「格」指體格、骨架，骨架較大的公雞需要較長的時間成長，所以開始啼叫的時間也比較遲。比喻大器晚成。當人表現不盡人意，或一時不得志，尤其是小孩表現欠佳之時，常用此話鼓勵。; 🗣le: AF'beeng go hoex`aq, korng'oe iao korng be zhefng'zhør, zhux'pvy khvoax'tiøh yn lau'pe ciaq hoaan'lør, tø korng, “Toa'keq kef ban thii, afn`laq!” (阿明五歲矣，講話猶講袂清楚，厝邊看著𪜶老爸遮煩惱，就講：「大格雞慢啼，安啦！」) (阿明五歲大了，講話還講不清楚，鄰居看到他父親非常煩惱，就說：「大骨架的公雞比較慢啼叫，放心啦！」); 🗣le: Y si cit ee jiin'zaai, laang korng “toa'keq kef ban thii”, køq`svaf'go'nii'ar id'teng e u zhud'thoad. (伊是一个人才，人講「大格雞慢啼」，閣三五年仔一定會有出脫。) (他是個人才，人家說「大器晚成」，再來個三五年後一定會有一番作為。)
