How to say "increasingly, more and more" in Hakka?

How to say "increasingly, more and more" in Hakka?

 

There are two options:

1. ye̍t-lòi-ye̍t...  (越來越...) +  adverb / adjective

2. kín-lòi-kín... (緊來緊...) + adverb / adjective


Example:

1. ngit-theù oi lo̍k-sân ke-sṳ̀-chiet, thiên ye̍t-lòi ye̍t am (as the sun goes down, the sky is becoming darker)

2. pan-ya kiéu-é kín-lòi kín-phoi, m̀-tî yû mà-sâ ngi̍p-lòi kak-piak vuk (in the middle of the night, dog is keep barking more and more, I wonder if there's someone entering the house next to us?)
