Casual street slang: Common slang

🇹🇼 [北七] is pretty insulting, more like calling someone a moron than playful teasing. Use it only with people who won't take offense, or when quoting how someone else talked.

💬 [機車] literally means scooter/motorcycle, but in Taiwan slang it also means someone is annoying, fussy, or a pain. You'll often hear it about behavior: [你很機車] = you're being really annoying.

🇹🇼 [走跳] is very casual and streety, often about getting by, making connections, or being active out in the world. It fits chats with friends much better than formal work or school situations.

🇹🇼 [好康] is very Taiwan and very colloquial; you'll see it a lot in ads, livestreams, and friend-to-friend sharing about deals or freebies. It sounds warmer and more hype-y than a neutral word like [優惠].

💬 [南波萬] is just an English-sounding slang writing of "number one," used in Chinese like a compliment or hype phrase. You'll also hear it after a noun: [你南波萬] = you're the best.

💬 [芭樂] literally is guava, but in slang it means something bogus, overblown, or unrealistic. The meaning depends a lot on context, so don't assume it's always about fruit when you hear it.

🇹🇼 [卡到陰] comes from folk beliefs about bad spirits, so people often use it jokingly for a run of weird bad luck or someone acting off. It can sound dramatic or funny, not necessarily literally supernatural.

💬 [呷飽未] is Taiwanese-style wording, not standard Mandarin: [呷] means eat and [未] marks "not yet?" as a question. It's a fixed greeting, so learn it as one chunk rather than building it word by word.
