"old; old-fashioned"[edit]

@Caferatte89 Hi, is this used other than in 老爺車? — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 01:39, 14 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Justinrleung: I found this https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/laoya (cannot confirm it is 老爷 or 老牙, but 牙 should not pronounce as "ia" in Hokkien) — This unsigned comment was added by Caferatte89 (talkcontribs) at 02:01, 14 April 2019 (UTC).Reply
@Caferatte89: That looks like a very different word in terms of meaning. I'm just asking if "old-fashioned" can be applied to things other than cars. I think in Cantonese, it could actually be applied to other things. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 04:36, 14 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Justinrleung: Then sorry I don't have any source, probably the only one is from Timothy Tye's dictionary. But yes I heard someone used it other than 老爺車 Caferatte89 (talk) 13:54, 14 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Caferatte89: Ok, good enough, I guess. — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 19:30, 14 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
