Lie hør! (; MTL: Lie hQr!; lit. "you good")...hello!, one of the Common Taiwanese phrases

"Lie" (like 'Lee' in falling tone) means "you". "Hør" (like 'huh' in falling tone) means "good". The "ø" in "hør" can be replaced with a "Q", yielding "hQr".

Due to tone sandhi, the phrase "Lie hQr" is pronounced with "lie" in the high tone.
