Why do you call "take the elevator" when you are clearly standing? It's obviously a steamed bun filled with meat, why is it called "rougamo"?

Seeing this title reminded me of a joke. It was said that a young man from Weihai brought his girlfriend home for the first time. The mother-in-law-to-be was so happy that she couldn't help but say: "Get on the kang and stand." The girl got on the kang inexplicably and did not dare to sit down. Later I learned that "standing" also means sitting. "Stand" also means "play". A polite saying when sending guests out is: "Come and stand." If you are not a local, you are really confused. Dialects are the customary communication symbols of local people.

Originally there was no such usage, but as more people used it, the habit became natural; this is the charm of language. Language is divided into two modes of expression: "written language" (text) and "spoken language"; the former is rigorous and standardized, while the latter is extremely arbitrary.

"Sitting" itself means "taking", such as "taking a car", "taking a boat" and "taking an airplane"; however, what is the actual situation in life? You are not "taking" a car , ship or plane, but "sit" on a chair in the car, ship or plane (supporting the body with the buttocks is "sitting"); there are also many people who do not sit but "stand". You can say that they say " "Stop the train"?

This is the randomness of spoken language. From a stylistic point of view, this is casual style; in daily life, people's communication with each other is often "lawless" (not observing grammar) Standard). For example, those who dance in the square are all "aunts", regardless of whether they are of aunt's age.

"Old man" literally means "older person". "Male" or "Father", but in some places women call their husbands or other people's husbands also "old men".

The most typical example is "to put out fires"; if the expression is strict, it should be "to put out fires" Or "fire fighting"; if there is a fire, what you save is not the "fire", but the people and property you save.

Also, whether it is "eating tea", "eating wine" or "drinking wine". "What about "drinking tea"? Is "TCM" a Chinese doctor? Is it Chinese medicine? The formal expression should be "traditional Chinese medicine".

"Rougamo", this is a business The gimmick; the focus is on "meat", which means that its "selling point" is "meat", not "moon"; "Squirrel Mandarin Fish", where is the squirrel?

The characteristic of Chinese is written language. There is a serious disconnect with spoken language. Written language can be literal, but spoken language does not have to be so rigid - just understand it.
