  Last time i ask for a "nai cha", then i said "cha-nai"... then the shopkeeper says it's the same lah, no difference...
  
  So, i guess it's all the same thing right, with tea and milk as the main stuff inside....

  teh xi means tea with less milk.
  
  so there's no teh xi gao...unless u want to hear the sexy word 'har?' from the coffeeboy..
  
  if u want milk tea u just say teh...most will liao kai...
  
  if u ask for tea without milk, teh-o is the word...
  
  if u want tea with more milk, tea gao gao...
  
  teh ni..yes, translated is tea with milk but it also sound like squeezing boo.bs in hokkien.

  my two cents worth:
  
  think how u say it largely depends on the language u use... if its in english, den its milk tea, in mandarin, den its nai cha, in hokkien, den its teh ni, etc.
  
  the reason why ppl are confused over this is due to the commercial right???...

  tei si -> tea with less milk...
  
  tei ni?....
  
  

  I think
  tei si is not tea with less milk but tea with evaporated milk.
  tei is tea with condensed milk.
  
  So you will be charged 10cents more for tei si than tei.

  teh si desn't mean less milk...it's tea with evaporated milk and sugar instead of condense milk...gao simply means, strong...normally, the coffee/tea served in coffeeshops adds about 30% hot water to your tea/coffee, if you order gao, they add less water, more tea/coffee...
  
  if you wan it not too sweet, it's siu dai, or gah dai for sweeter taste...
  
  if you wan to order tea with milk, just a simple 'teh' will do...

  ok, to make it more simple:
  
  imagine if u use a teabag, pour hot water then add some condensed milk to make the drink.
  
  will u call it milk tea or tea milk?

  I will say it as milked tea

  oh yah hor, my mistake...miss out the evaporated milk
  since there's teh si siu dai....then there's teh si gao gao...
