December 02, 2010, 03:24 PMThanks, Dino! I asked because it seems there are just so many words for 'worried' in Chinese, difficult to know when to use which word! I like this phrase though :-)

nǐ fā shénme chóu a?
Can this phrase be used in a respectful way, or is it more informal and laidback?

It was a pretty technical downhill, and I managed to tumble down and hit a few rocks on arrival at the bottom! Still, I don't regret racing (it's not like to walk the roads of Shanghai is much safer). Problem is, I don't necessarily trust the opinion of any one doctor here, so I'm going to get a second opinion on all this... aaarh 太麻烦了!!
