Hi xio2009, yes I agree thay are all the same. can1 is a meal, jin1 is a towel and zhi3 is paper.I'm looking for the most commonly used expression.

I'm a bit confused. I did a lesson previously called "Requesting a Napkin" in which a napkin was referred to as "zhi3 jin1", this new lesson is similar but uses "can1 jin1 zhi3" for a napkin. My dictionary tells me a napkin is "can1 jin1". Can you tell me which is the most common translation for a napkin.

When is it appropriate to use "suan2 le5" and "mei2 guan1 xi5"?
