I Know This One!!!

I get so hooked on watching 正識第一 and now that season 2 is in full swing, I still find myself pulling out season 1 and 最緊要正字 to re-watch so the vocabulary will hopefully stick with me. Unfortunately, I don't have the time (or effort) anymore to do what I used to do to study Chinese when I was in high school so I guess 翻煲-ing the shows will help me a bit.

Yesterday's episode had 郭峰 and Mandarin speaking 朱璇 stumped on the following 對聯:

調琴調調調調調調調來調調妙
種花種種種種種種種成種種香


I've studied this before so I know it! Poor 郭峰 and 朱璇 were completely tongue tied though...haha.

Further to my 糴米 post, I learned another word to go with it:


音: tiu3 ()

as in 糴糶 which means 米稻的買賣. So in a nutshell, 糴米 = 買 and 糶米 = 賣.
