Winter Olympics in Chinese

The Olympics is a beautiful event that brings people from all over the world to celebrate sportsmanship and peace between the people. China has won that place for 2022 and Beijing will be hosting the 2022 Winter Olympics. However, it’s not an easy task, as they have to secure everyone’s health in these times of Covid. So we will all be watching the sports from home, and we are impatient to follow the event and this time in Chinese.

Do you know how to say the winter Olympics game in Chinese? It’s 冬奥会 – dōnɡ ào huì – Winter Olympics Game, so that’s a good start.

We’re not all that familiar with winter sports like skiing, bobsleigh, or curling in Chinese. So, it’s with great fun that we wrote this article today with a collection of all the winter sports that will be attended in Beijing 2022.

Viki: https://www.viki.com/

Viki has a great collection of Chinese videos and is a well-known destination for watching Asian dramas. The selection is quite nice, but the (soft) subs are hard to find sometimes. Soft subs are subtitles you can add from a file.

Mydramalist: https://mydramalist.com/

A website specialized in reviewing Drama from Asian countries. A great website to look for the perfect fit for a drama to your taste. There’s often the link or the Chinese name to then look for it in other services.

@Hami shared with us:

Ready to learn how to say different cuts of meat in Chinese? So you can easily order yummy slices of meat for your next 火锅 huǒ guō hot pot? Or finally, know what kind of meat is in Chinese dumplings? Then Chinese Meat recipes will hold no secret for you!

First, let’s see how to say meat in Chinese as well as Chicken, Turkey, Pork, Lamb, Duck, Veal, and Beef in Chinese.

And no, don’t even ask, we won’t be talking about cat meat in Chinese or any other kind of strange meat (it seems like people look up rat meat in Chinese? The horror). Dog Meat is sometimes eaten in winter because it’s super caloric meat to eat, but we’ve never come across any other type, so enough with the rumors! Alright? Here we go.

Types of Meat in Chinese

Good to know: In China, you’ll often come across dish names that simply say 肉 ròu Meat. In most restaurants (the obvious exception being Halal Uyghur restaurants ), 肉 will by default be pork. That’s because, traditionally, pork is the most consumed meat (or at least was in the past).
If you’re not sure whether it’s going to be pork or not or are trying to avoid eating pork, better check with your waiter/waitress first!

You’ll also often just see 鸡 jī chicken, 鸭 yā duck, 羊 yáng lamb, mutton, 牛 niú Beef on their own, without the 肉 thrown in, on a menu. So you might not see duck meat in Chinese, but you’ll definitely see 鸭 and a favorite, 烤鸭 yā Roast Duck!
