March 31, 2009, 08:00 PM posted in General DiscussionThe phrase, 不好意思, seems to have a variety of uses other than it's literal meaning and appreciation. I noticed Pete used it as an example in his Poems with Pete lesson. It seems to be used a lot in everyday speech. Can someone explain its different uses - or might it be worth a Qing Wen topic?
thanks, jian
