我昨天买了一个竹的帽子。我想是从越南来的。
在帽子上面有四句话“非骅高山“。
你们知道不知道这个四汉字的意思,是不是
一个在越南的地方?

谢谢你的帮助。

Please tell me how to say “to feel” as in physically feel/touch something.

Also, what’s the difference between ji mo, gu dan, gu du. They all seem the same to me.

你好本霓我尊敬汉语老师,

很久没有给你写信。你真的学日本话?太好啊,你很聪敏!
我觉得日本话比中文更困难。你们中国人不会发音“R”替
它发音“L”,但是日本人不会说“L”替它说“R”,比如
“HOLLAND”日本人说“ORANDA”, 你们中国人说“LOTTELDAN”
在代替的“ROTTERDAM”说“LOTTELDAN”对不对?

万事如意

Hi Benny,

How are you doing?

I have a question to ask you. What does “被剥削得血淋淋的” means in the following paragraph:

阿P呆了一会儿,也往回走,他要去出席庆功宴。饭桌上,阿P将5万元现金递给于虎,说:“虽然少了点,但来日方长嘛!”尽管被剥削得血淋淋的,但于虎不敢吭气…
