Differences between quantifiers in Puyang dialect and Putonghua.

Puyang dialect will add some dialect adjectives before the numbers, and often use some quantifiers to express approximate.

In dialects, we will add some dialect adjectives with numbers to make the objects described more vivid. For example, "saw a piece of wood" in Mandarin, people prefer to say "saw a piece of wood", which means that the wood was sawed into a circle and rolled into a piece.

In addition to this specific "slip", there are some quantifiers commonly used in dialects to express the general meaning, that is, the meaning can be well conveyed without specific numbers. When you go to the vegetable market to buy food, you can say to the stall owner, "Let's have a catty of garlic." The stall owner will pack one or two Jin of garlic according to the amount that ordinary customers often buy. It doesn't matter if there is more garlic or less garlic.
