Hi, I'm new to the forum; need help for some work regarding spoken Hainanese in Singapore & Malaya (as it was then) in the old days (from 1915 onwards). Present day information is fine too.

 

"Towkay" refers to 头家，or boss. Do the Hainanese address their bosses differently? ie. Hao ge?

 

Thank you so much!
