释义

名词

售卖具南洋特色的咖啡等冷热饮料及餐点的邻里店铺，是普通市民用餐之处。现称“咖啡店”。

DEFINITION

Noun

A neighbourhood shop that sells hot and cold drinks such as traditional Nanyang coffee and meals, often frequented by locals. Now known as coffee shop.

由来

源自于福建话（闽南话）的音译，“㗝呸”指的是咖啡。早期新加坡㗝呸店的经营者主要是海南人及福州人，也被称为“茶室”，店里售卖的主要是南洋风味的咖啡、茶和咖椰面包，也兼卖价廉物美的本地餐点，为普通市民提供三餐之需。

ETYMOLOGY

Originating from the Hokkien (Minnan) dialect, kopi is a transliteration of the word coffee. In the early days, most of the kopitiam owners were Hainanese and Fuzhounese, and kopitiams were also known as “tea rooms”. Frequented by locals, these shops mainly sell traditional Nanyang coffee, tea, kaya toast, as well as affordable local dishes.

例句

黑白照年代的咖啡店也叫“㗝呸店”、“茶室”和“饮水室”，骑楼柱子上刻着“升堦宜入座，雅室可谈心”之类的对联。（《联合早报》，12/4/2019）

SAMPLE SENTENCE

In the days of black and white photography, coffee shops were also known as “kopitiam”, “tea rooms” and “drinking rooms”. Couplets like “more seats available upstairs, cosy rooms for tête-à-tête” were engraved on the pillars of the building. (Lianhe Zaobao, 12/4/2019)
