Thank you. I figured separating the 'jiù' from 'zài' here might be a bad idea.

Duìbuqǐ, dàjiā. Wǒ de dàoqiàn. The posting above from yesterday is all wrong. I looked up the wrong character. The characters in my

dictionary are very small and I didn't have my magnifying glass with me

yesterday. Today I do and I see that the bō in Jenny's huángbō means

wave or ripples or an unexpected turn of events, not at all what I wrote

yesterday.

Speaking of intrachangeable, may the 3rd expansion sentence be also said

correctly in Mandarin as "Nǐmen jiù děng wǒ zài lùkǒu ba"?

I looked this up. Bō, sometimes bāo, seems to mean shell, peel, skin,

and strip sometimes, or sheet as in sheet metal. Hope that helps. But

I wonder about the shūfá. Are the characters here for huángbō simplified Mandarin. I think they are but I'm not sure. They look different from

the ones in my dictionary which are the traditional ones.
