<![CDATA[Comments on: Antiperspirant in China]]> sure you want to drop a hundred kuai on your favorite stick, spray, or roll-on at the fancy supermarket. The laowai demand has caused the supply to shift in our favor. Or maybe the locals finally realized the western world actually invented something awesome before they did. Either way, it's here! Albeit in a limited supply.... Learn the Chinese to get it in this podcast.]]> 2008-06-30 18:00:00 <![CDATA[By: guolanusa]]> 我的城市有一家商店有时侯卖speedstick!

Anyway, now I can buy condoms and antipersperant with confidence in China thanks to Chinesepod.com! Thanks!

别乱喷止汗剂. bie2 luan4 pen1 zhi3 han4 ji4

or

你把香水乱喷. ni3 ba3 xiang1 shui3 luan4 pen1

Also is  抹 mo3 the verb used for stick or roll-on products?

Seems like the newer intermediate lessons are not as hard, which is good since I thought the step from Elementary to Intermediate was mighty big.  Or maybe I'm getting better, or some combination?

I'd like to find out how to say the different types of bad smells in Mandarin. I know a lot of them in Cantonese that I don't even know how to say in English other than to describe them as stinks. I'll provide a few here in the way I say it in Cantonese, and perhaps some Cantonese/Mandarin expert like auntie68 can help (sorry, using a sort of pinyin-phonic combi, the only way I know to romanise it...I know I'm going to get flak here because I posted a comment about not needing to to learn romanised spoken Cantonese. Gulp!).

"sok" (the smell you get when wet things don't dry properly and bacteria breeds)

"sou" (gamey smell of meat)

"ngaat" (urine smell)

Feel free to add to this list too. Thanks.
