Taiwanese is by nature a language of daily life, with lively and interesting phraseology. "If you use the posturing and tone of Pekinese xiang sheng to perform Taiwanese dialogues, it would be absolutely out of context. It would sound uncomfortably strange," says Tsai Ming-yi.
然而台語本是生活的語言，言詞活潑又有趣味，「如果擺出北京相聲的架勢跟腔調來說台語相聲，鐵定不倫不類，聽來怪不舒服」，蔡明毅（阿炮）說。
