捩棄 or 邐迤?
So recently I trying to learn the 正字+correct pronunciation of phrases I used daily, and I got stumped on this one.
This two are supposedly the correct word for "le2 he3", which means messy, unorganised, unenthusiastic.
捩 alone is either pronounced as "lit6", "leoi6", or "lai6"
邐 alone is pronounced as "lei5"
迤 alone is either pronounced as "ji4", or "ji5"
I personally prefer 捩棄, because it's literal meaning is "Tearing something and discarding it"
In the other hand, 邐迤 means "Crooked, twisted road", which doesn't really relate to the modern meaning.
