    oops... have to correct myself here... he he... my memory is not the
    best... :-/
    Should be (jiah8 bng1)... bopomofo would be ㄐㄧㄚㆷˈ ㄅㆭ.
    The character 吃 also exists in Minnan and has the same pronounciation
    (jiah8), but a totaly different meaning than the Mandarin counterpart.

    Cheers
