Chinese Mandarin Learning : Learn To Say Chinese Food Name   Learn

Abstract : With so many foods in China, selecting which dish to order can sometimes be a challenge in itself! I always ask the waiter to chose his or her favorite dish, but if you're not as adventurous as I am, this experience will help you order something to your liking.

你好 话 小姐。

我觉得“痛快” 很奇怪的话。“痛快”的意思是“高兴”“幸福”对不对?可是“痛”的意思是“不舒服”“痛苦“,”苦痛“的意思。你们
中国人感觉痛快若是痛消失很快,
比如去看牙医牙痛的时候?。

万事如意
(恭贺新禧)
