Is using '對啊' too informal when talking to my older relatives?
Posted by u/Heritagelearner_333 / May 30, 2026
As a heritage learner, I'm trying to sound less like a textbook, but I struggle with when it's appropriate to inject local Taiwanese Mandarin fillers like '對啊' or '喔' into my speech. I want to sound natural without being disrespectful to my elders. Has anyone practiced these specific social dynamics, maybe by using Chickytutor.com to roleplay different levels of politeness in Taiwanese family settings?
