utterance-id1 [noise] [noise] <unk> really and with me i have a very social gas [noise] three <unk> my girlfriend [noise] everybody [noise] uh so uh yeah for nothing to them uh the reason i had me on actually but um she was telling me something that uh inspired me to do this uh particular short so we'll get into show some background on it uh anyone who is learn chinese probably learned early on that you know the the the use of terms eat and drink is a little different <unk> chinese english in english we say i eat soup and what do you say oh uh huh yeah i yeah yeah it could it usually paired with whipped liquid so it's it's usually translated strike so you can say about about it and uh you can think about that in cultural term you know in asian culture stupid often much thinner then what we have an altered yeah and it's and it's often like you don't get a drink what's your what's your dinner in in china that often you get suit but anyway the thing that um <unk> hold me over to heard that there's uh there was a difference that she experience between you know two different it's between two different regions but you know the way that she speaks and the way people in <unk> six so you you talk about that yeah yeah um <unk> <unk> yeah so the friends that they thought my understanding i can't read you know and that that kind of factor yeah yeah yeah so that's like capital wow wow that she'd call the most that you <unk> yes mm <unk> uh a mentoring yeah that that that way yeah to see what you mean yeah uh yeah i <unk> yeah yeah but the only time i graduated a year <unk> see now so that people dear d._c. they've got that <unk> <unk> so that'd be interesting so you know <unk> <unk> hi <unk> <unk> that is a new dell <unk> yeah <unk> yeah yeah basically uh-huh it's it's uh it's it's a sort of a natural extension yeah uh uh you know you might have that <unk> you might have the difference some people pay more attention to the fact that you knew some people pay more attention to the fact that there's liquid involved um uh-huh but it gets weirder so [laughter] but you still can't understand that forever i can understand drinking noodles [laughter] if if if if it's like in a bowl of oh no problem like that they usually serve and trying to [noise] but yeah exactly so he can't hide the status or you know i think like like another and not the typical example at uh like mm <unk> versus how much that they eat why what's the deal why yeah so um so joe <unk> blue and just means any kind of <unk> people before translate to one but um eating wine but that's that's a weird about your guy thing [laughter] yeah so now <unk> with the <unk> <unk> yeah <unk> yeah it's a common um but <unk> but uh some people like who speak uh yeah i like to like those people coming from guam dawn quasi probably yeah they tend to get was chicken <unk> <unk> if i miss is this is ah from what i understand from you and your first talking this is like a hold over from bolder varieties of chinese like yeah right that's why i mentioned earlier <unk> <unk> ah kid no chance of all the time right and uh so uh you own a chinese like use any we found that take in asian <unk> at the beach yeah yeah and uh so like um [noise] there was a uh there's a lot of clear example that we we try to talk we talk about with some friends um you can say <unk> but that's <unk> yeah it's a little bit difficult it's it's actually ambiguous because you know in some dialects you can say <unk> drinking tea it's literally <unk> or ah more generally you can use it to mean eating but he leaves them so yeah so it's a kind of <unk> yeah maybe yeah different things so we keep today so that's why we <unk> <unk> <unk> yeah same thing yeah yeah but so anyway this got me thinking about you know eating and drinking <unk> journal and um i went to a place that a lot of people i think a lot of people should go williams wonderful um <unk> the sars and uh you know he has under well so he he mentions drink maybe identical to eat so that's sort of <unk> well yeah about and um he also talks about you know there's a lot of variation he also in his i prefer <unk> <unk> a bunch of different distinctions that can be done the manner of eating the texture of the the food apparently a lot of african languages distinguish <unk> soft food uh the the the time that you eat um this i know from uh like spanish how are you not to eat breakfast i'll more south to to uh eat lunch sent out to eat there um <unk> <unk> some similar once they actually uh take it from the term from <unk> <unk> <unk> highly <unk> to lunch is <unk> english has the word too long [noise] and ah there's so much more i'm going to link to i'm also actually going to link to um the uh slides that we've got his information that william sites because i looked at those those look like a a nice place to look but aside from like all the different distinctions you can choose i think the the point that illustrated by sort of the chinese example we're we're talking about is [noise] it might be fun to play just at the edges of these some ethic field and think about things like you know eating why why why why that happens possibly it's like a historical just a historical i think i think that <unk> you know <unk> hi gail where he where he <unk> option for people you know he were interesting work maybe yeah maybe it was just maybe at that time sure could it could mean both both fuzzy <unk> like <unk> like are we can't say she <unk> she also yeah i <unk> sometimes yeah but we don't have so many options like huh <unk> that <unk> <unk> why so people just don't know you that same thing for both event in here so i hope that uh something that might be useful something that can be an inspiration for for people and uh i will um uh i will talk to guys that time i pick on like [noise] i [noise] thank you for listening to <unk> you could find our our car insurance at <unk> dot com you can send questions comments more topic or
