Hi Benny!

So what is the most common way to say “car” in China? Do you say “qi che” or just “che?” Or is there another more common way?

I have heard “taxi” as “chu zu che” and “chu zu qi che”.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

In China we often say " chē or chē zi"

As for Taxi, we say "chū zū chē or just “Taxi” most people understand this English word even my parents
