May 30, 2020 at 8:05 AMHow common is it to currently say the phrase "请问您贵姓"? If you omit the 贵, does this indicate a lack of respect?

May 26, 2020 at 4:59 AMI noticed that the use of 失利 is somewhat very formal. I also noticed that the speaker used this phrase twice at the end of the sentence. Is this customary?

May 22, 2020 at 12:34 AMI noticed the synopsis statement below the video:As we all know, coronavirus and Corona beer share nothing but a similar name, but that didn't stop people from preventing the beer. I found the highlighted section to be phrased a bit weird。Perhaps a better word/phrase would be “avoiding the beer”? Also I asked the question: in the sentence “不开开玩笑，快逼出心理病来了” I noticed that you used the term 心理病。Yet I thought 心 referred to heart, so why is it used to describe a mental illness, wouldn’t a better term be 脑理病？

June 5, 2020 at 7:12 AMVery well done! I especially love that they included other phrases other than 生日快乐 because I feel as though that saying is often the only phrase to convey birthday congratulations. I notice that they also including the option for 希望 instead of 祝你。However, I also noticed that most of the phrases that only incorporated that 祝你 vocab. What is the implication of using 希望 instead of 祝你, is it less formal and therefore less used?
