Usage notes
- Unlike English this, 這個／这个 (zhège) in Mandarin is not usually used for units of time such as 年 (nián), 天 (tiān) and 日 (rì). Rather, 今 (jīn) and 本 (běn) are used. Some common examples include 今晚 (jīnwǎn, “tonight”), 今天 (jīntiān, “today”) and 今年 (jīnnián, “this year”). However, 這個／这个 (zhège) can be used with 月 (yuè) - 這個月/这个月 (zhège yuè) - or more formally 本月 (běnyuè), as well as 星期 (xīngqī) - 這個星期/这个星期 (zhège xīngqī).
- For Hokkien, Douglas (1873/1899) notes that dê/--dê is sometimes heard after final ⟨-t⟩, such as with this term, chit-ê / chit-le / chit-lê / chí-lê > chit-dê / chit-de / chid-dê / chí-dê,[1] although modern Pe̍h-ōe-jī (POJ) does not use the letter ⟨D⟩.
