Context

@The dog2 I wonder if you could let me know what context you're thinking about for this word. If you're thinking of 理睬, it's more like paying attention when someone is bothering you, which seems like 管 wouldn't work. This would seem like 理 and 管 probably shouldn't be put in the same module. The split is approximately like the split here between senses 1 and 2. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 06:02, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: An example would be if you're telling someone to ignore a person, you can say 不要管他 or 不要理他. The equivalent in Hokkien and Teochew would be 莫插伊, and I think in Cantonese it would be 唔好理佢. The dog2 (talk) 06:13, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

@The dog2: In a situation where someone is calling out to you, could you use 管? For example, 他一直叫你，你不理他嗎, which we could translate into Cantonese as 佢一路嗌緊你，你唔睬/理佢呀. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 07:29, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: In that case I'd say no. I would say 管 applies more to someone being spontaneously concerned about another person. The dog2 (talk) 07:44, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
