DRINKING CULTURE IN CHINA/TAIWAN |
我-要-喝...
wǒ-yào-hē...
Drinking culture in Taiwan (same as in China) can be quite essential particularly when talking about business. You would normally be invited to have a drink at KTVs after a business presentation or a business talk. Taiwanese people believe that this could increase a better chance of the future cooperation in business.
When drinking with Taiwanese people, they would ask you 'nǐ-yào- hē-shén-mē?' ,meaning 'what would you like to drink?' nǐ-yào literally means you-want; , hē (sounds like her), means drink. And shén-mē means what.
So, how do you respond? You can say, wǒ-yào-hē+ name of the drink , meaning 'I would like to drink ...'wǒ-yào means I-want. hē means drink.
Are you ready to order? 😁
red wine= 🍷 hóng-jiǔ > home-Joe
(hóng sounds like home; jiǔ sounds like Joe)
white wine= 🍸 bái-jiǔ > bye-Joe
(bái sounds like bye )
beer 🍺 pí-jiǔ > pee-Joe
(pí sounds like pee)
