What’s the difference between Hokkien and Teochew?

[Kippikip]

Yes it’s too mild.

even if you understand Teochew it also dosent have the aggressiveness or the gurangness of Hokkien language

imagine if ah Beng scold people in Teochew, will sound like apologising instead of scolding

Some Teochew curses sound like melodious tunes, quite funny actually. Like you mentioned, completely don’t sound aggressive at all.

or any other Teochew word use for scolding people?

As a Hainanese who knows a little of both, my impression is one like singing the other like scolding.
