Last weekend I bought one of those (400 RMB, filled with feathers) and it "adds 20 pounds". Took me 3 cold winters in China, but now I am ready :-). My Ayi called this 羽绒.

Thx Changye!

Do you think it is better to avoid the 难道 structure? I wanted to try to make a sencentence with this and found BG's quote on Dutch wikipedia on rethorical questions, (which I thought was rather funny).

Why doesn't anyone understand that I sometimes ask rethorical questions? (Bill Gates).

Could I say this?

难倒人不明白, 有时我问反问(吗)?

@Changye, actually Danish is a good idea: Dutch is too easy for me :-).

@all I wrote a little update about the test in a seperate thread, it is a little too off topic to post it here.
