🗣 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] [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 。

🗣 Bagciw kimkym laang siongtiong. 🗣 (u: Bak'ciw kym'kym laang siofng'tiong.) 目睭金金人傷重。 [wt][mo] [d#]

眼睛睜大 ， 病情嚴重 。 形容人病得很嚴重 ， 只能張大眼睛 ， 無法動彈 ； 也用來比喻遇到事情束手無策 ， 只能乾瞪眼而沒辦法處理 。

🗣 Bagciw koax tawkaix, khvoax laang mih tø aix. 🗣 (u: Bak'ciw koax tao'kaix, khvoax laang mih tø aix.) 目睭掛斗概，看人物就愛。 [wt][mo] [d#]

眼睛掛著平斗的木概 ， 看到別人的東西就想要 。 用來形容人過於貪心 。 以前用 「 斗 」 來測量穀物豆類等東西的份量 ， 斗概是一長形木條 ， 用來把斗口高出的部分撥平以得到準確的量 。 販售商人的習慣是只往內撥 、 不往外撥 ， 有招財之意 。 所以用眼睛掛著斗概 ， 來比喻想把別人的東西納為己有的貪婪心態 。

🗣 lauxlangbak 🗣 (u: lau'laang'bak) 老人目 [wt][mo] [d#]

老花眼 。
