I mean ‘teh’ (Cantonese) as in manja.
I can’t seem to find an appropriate word in English to describe this very fine art of errr…seduction?
Please input and I am gonna write the Fine Art of Teh-ing real soon. Since I don’t have a daughter to teach so I might as well do a good deed to humanity in general.
Teh….
Whine? No.
Purr? No.
What?
Erm… Affectionate? Cuddly?
Clingy?
coquettish
Merriam-Webster: a woman who endeavors without sincere affection to gain the attention and admiration of men
Coquettish sounds so squarish le. Even sounds like “Cold cat fish”. Teh-ing sounds better. Hahaha.
Clingy.
seducting with style.
okok, clingy is a more accurate representation but it still can’t be used to describe the affection and passion of teh-ing.
like clinging?
some words are just not cross-cultural friendly.
uuhhhmmm…..mushy?
COY
Hmm..I’d normally use attention seeker.
I dun think it’s clingy.
Teh is like someone going “alah…yehh…mou kam lah…balablablablablabla” in that manja kinda voice.
But I dunno what’s the word in English lah =P
clingy – don’t think so, as ‘manja’ sometimes certainly could be endearing as well, don’t you think?
i don’t actually know what ‘teh’ means. is it to describe the affections of a female only? you could use ‘manja’ for a child, or even a cat for example (uhh but i hate manja-type cats blehh, not a cat person 😉
hehe – question of the day!
Clingy is more approriate cause it sounds better but however, I do agree with that word Coquettish though.
Cheers!
I use ‘ahkuaness’.
yeah i agree totally with doc.. well we just discovered that he’s an ahkua.. so yeah u gotta trust him 😛
should be “meow…”
what about:

Wah….so many choices. I think better stick to ‘teh’ and manja. Promise to write about teh soon.
teh = my wife 🙂
“HORNY” ?
I don’t know but I always heard “teh” female on some web site said: ” em… I am so horny…”
flirty?
or perhaps affectionate?
