Usage as "old man"[edit]

阿伯 can be used as "old man" [in Cantonese at least], as in "平時個阿伯唔喺度咩" (comparable to おじいさん, I suppose). I'm not sure if this goes in usage notes, or as another definition. —umbreon126 09:23, 19 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Feel free to add, I was just filling a red link in [[]] using a dictionary definition. Judging by the usage, it can be any "guy", also pejoratively, dependent on the context. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 09:30, 19 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
