Do you like Chinese food

[shellyuan]

Chinese like to talk about food, they always ask “Have you eaten?” instead of “What’s the weather like?” Therefore, many other things related to the word“eat” have been created.
If you are not familiar how to write the word “吃” stroke by stroke, check http://www.hellomandarin.com/ilovechine ... 20-06.html , there is a video to show you directly. I’m sure following it, you can write the word well.

吃 eat; food; absorb
Examples:
1）eat; take
吃早饭 eat breakfast
吃奶 take milk from its mother
2）live off
吃父母 live off one’s parents
坐山吃山 live off the mountains where your home is
干一行，吃一行
One’s profession is one’s livelihood.

Others:
1） 吃穿 food and clothing
讲究吃穿 be particular about one’s food and clothing
不愁吃穿 not have to worry about food and clothing
2) 吃喝玩乐 seek pleasure
我们难道没有比吃喝玩乐更高的人生目标吗？
Can we have no higher aim in life than mere pleasure-seeking?
3) 吃亏 suffer losses
他吃了自私的亏。
He suffered from his own selfishness.

Thank you! Chinese people are so interesting, but I think in this way the wife will sacrifice a lot for the family, how do you think? I'm trying hard to learn Chinese, and I have found a good site http://www.learnchinese.bj.cn to learn Chinese with excellent bilingual teachers .
