 |
|
Anybody know what a daikon is in Chinese (daikon are those enormous white radishes - daikon is the Japanese word). I can't look it up because I don't know the English name.
Someone is going to ask me this on Tuesday (don't ask why). |

Sorry, I don't have an answer to the question!

I've found that Chinese is a language that "makes sense." I've often discovered that when I've had a feeling about what a word I haven't learned could be, it's often correct. It's a wonderfully intuitive language that way. |

| Yeah, totally agree with you Steve. I have found it to be the most logical language I have ever learned, speaking and writing! |
