Taishanese has a form of adjectival expression so vivid that, even today, I can still recollect the grimace of great grandma when I think of [ham22 ŋin55 ǝ33] (咸/salty), and shiver as I feel the cool air brushing through my skin for [liaŋ22 dim33 ǝ33] (凉浸/cool). The first syllable supplies the key semantic meaning, but the second syllable is typically emphasized and of longer duration which gives the expression its vivid sound effect.
