It's funny how they asked about 海南 being 冷. It's the best place to go for being "cold". But 武汉, that place has piercing winds-冷死了.

也可以说“元旦快乐”,对不对? 元旦 means "first sunrise of the year". I hear this all the time in China.

I had to listen to the joke twice before I caught on with where you were going. Nonetheless, I am all for dad jokes and I wish that I could translate all my jokes into Chinese without any of it being lost in translation.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but when you ask someone a question, there is multiple ways to ask such as: 我问你,我想问你,or 我问问. That last one, 问问, is suppose to be the punch line for 文文, right?

Posted on: Introduce Your Name Like a Native

My surname is Miu 繆, not Mao or Miao; it's from Canton province.It's part of a 成语 - 未雨绸缪.My family name is not a common name, and I have a hard time figuring out how I can introduce it besides using 未雨绸缪的繆 character. However, Myname is 溶德, and it doesn't mean what most people think it means. 溶解的溶 和 品德的德. My ollllllld Chinese teacher helped me pick it, but I mostly chose it. I wanted the water radical because I love surfing, and I didn't want the traditional "f" sound for Phred (pronounced as Fred) for 福. Can someone please help me with my 姓名, please? 蟹蟹 :)
