Is this a regional thing? What region/s?

Which do you say?
"This needs to be fixed."
"This needs fixed."

It's fascinating how our name for a material we use a lot is just an adjective meaning 'shapeable', 'formable'. "What's this made of?" Oh, you know, stuff that can be shaped. Make-things-stuff. It's made of makeable-with, y'know, the thing we can form into arbitrary shapes? Like, the raw formless chaos of creation? What else would you make things out of?
Current mood: Looking for an expression in the vane of "Overstaying one's welcome, but it's not about fading hospitality and more about a place loosing appeal over time. "Overstaying a places' charm", maybe?
Background: Woke up today in the town I grew up with the line "Kingdoms come, kingdoms go" from Dessa's marvellous song LYTP on my mind and spent some nice time looking into the origins of the phrase "This too shall pass" (which lives rent-free in my mind, usually spoken in the voice of Malevolent's John Doe) as well as revisiting this gorgeous remake of Shelley's Ozymandias.
TL;DR: I'm a little maudlin but highly entertained.
Do you think Cas hears Dean call Jack "Kid," and mentally categorizes it like "Baby / child / little one?" 👶
Then again, idk. Maybe he just hears it as "young goat." 😐 🐐

A very short list of words I seem to have randomly learned without trying from double-language subtitles:
是 shì
It means "yes", and "to be", and "so be it" although most of the time in historicals it actually means "aye, aye, Sir".
好 hao
It means "fine", "okay", "alright", and "good", or quite often it actually seems to mean "if you say so". I kind of like the character for this one because the pictographic definition of "good, fine, okay" is a woman with a baby.
多谢 duōxiè,
it means "thank you very much". This goes in the box called "I don't know if this is something people normally say, or if it's only for historicals". In award shows people say 谢谢 xièxie.
and
王妃 wángfēi
it means Princess.
Recognising some forms of address is really useful for getting hints of what's going on that the subtitles don't give you. These include didi, or a vocative a-die, which mean "younger brother", jiejie and a-jie which mean "older sister", and furen and fu(jun? not sure of the second syllable) for "wife" and "husband", specifically when they are contrasted with some other option that could be used.
For instance I am pretty sure that in this line, below, 妹妹 mèimei "younger sister" is being used to be pretentious, presumptuous, and ingratiating in a really specific and rather funny way which the subtitle doesn't attempt to translate:
I recognised it by ear and then wound back to check the subtitle.
I also discovered that addressing your husband by his actual full name (not Surname + Courtesy Name but Surname + Name) apparently has precisely the same meaning as the equivalent in English, namely "you're ANNOYING me!"
This show is pretty entertaining
