i wish there's more videos that teach fuzhounese in yt. im a sino (fuzhou from father's line) in sabah & most my life i speak malay😐 am learning hokkien and some fuzhou. i only learnt hokkien bcoz fuzhounese is very hard to catch by ear & there's not alot of great resources avalaible😅 edit: i also appreciate how expressive these answers you gave😂 being very honest but somewhat tactful. i love the variations!!

'吃'的福州文字是'食', 音"siah" (或sieh，因口音而异)，入声字，声母(initial consonant)/s/，不是/x/，韵尾喉塞音[ʔ]，写成/h/，所以单字读"siah" [siaʔ]，而不是“xia"。福州语固有的音韵里没有/x/这声母，而且x和s的发音无论是在汉语拼音或英语里都有天渊之别，不能混用。 中文‘好吃’的相应福州词语为'好食'，字面读"ho siah"，连读时声母/s/因前字‘ho'的元音(vowel)韵尾/o/的影响而被转化成/l/，导致口语发音转变为"ho-liah"。声母/l/在这里称之为‘连读声母’，但它不读/l/，而是介于/l/和/r/之间的/ɾ/，语言学里称之为‘闪音’(flap)。所以"ho-liah"的正确口语发音是"ho-ɾiah"，不过为了方便打字，许多人都把它写成"ho-riah"。 “好吃吗?”这疑问句用福州话讲是“会好食儥?”, 口语“ae ho-ɾiah mae?”，而不是“eh ho lia leh?". “很好吃”的福州话是“真好食”，“zing ho-ɾiah"。 “太好吃了”用福州话讲是“过好食去”，口语"guo ho-ɾiah-uo" (字面“guo ho siah guo”)，而不是"gu ho lia uoh"。‘过’是程度副词，强调‘非常’，‘去’是助词，在福州语语法里用来辅助(complement)程度副词‘过’。 等等，等等。。。语言教导若未做足准备功夫就会误导！冀共勉之。

The word EAT in Fuzhouhua, from "Xia" to "Lia" In Standard Chinese/ Mandarin/ Putonghua, it is known as "liandu bian yin" ie. liandu = continuous reading bian = change yin = sound I think in English language, it is known as "sandhi words". Fuzhouhua has a lot of sandhi words. Thank you 😊.
