释义

talkeen.1

Brit. /ˈtɔːki/, U.S. /ˈtɔki/, /ˈtɑki/, Caribbean English /ˈtɔːki/, /ˈtaːki/
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: talk n., talk v., Chinese Pidgin English -ee, Jamaican Creole -ee.
Etymology: Probably partly < either talk n. or talk v. + Chinese Pidgin English -ee (see makee v.), and partly < talk n. or talk v. + Jamaican Creole -ee (or equivalent elements in other English-based creole languages of the Caribbean), although perhaps sometimes intended simply as a generic representation of English-based pidgins or creoles. Compare talkee-talkee n., and also talky-talky n.
Now rare.
In (somewhat depreciative) representations of Afro-Caribbean and East Asian speech: conversation, talk; an instance of this.
