Learning the best of Taiwanese culture

Taiwanese (or the larger Hokkien) is a primarily spoken language without an official writing system. It packs so much vigor and rhythm that I have always appreciated ever since my grandma taught me the basics when I was little. Now, with the help of the latest LLM tools, I can finally realize my dream of having a personal dictionary that interprets conversational contexts from other languages to Taiwanese. This tool can translate any English or Chinese phrase into its closest Taiwanese proverb equivalent, while explaining its origin, literal meaning, and pronunciation. The system is tone-aware and context-aware, and can analyze punctuations in the user input.
