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?

Coquettish sounds so squarish le. Even sounds like “Cold cat fish”. Teh-ing sounds better. Hahaha.

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.

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!
