interesting quirk in china:

red is used for gains (ie +100 RMB or +1% would be written in red color) because red is considered a good color

while green is used for losses (ie -100 RMB or -1%)

If they somehow got emotions and expressions on the characters faces then they might beat one piece live action.

the chinese do use similar terms

宝贝 means baby in endearing terms
亲爱的 means beloved one

context always important. just like in English there are sweet ways to say honey or darling and there are sarcastic ways to say the same term etc.

but always translating the terms literally loses a lot of the subtlety. hence why honey is a better fit as a translation here than the literal “wife”

[averychinesetime @averychinese]

unfortunately this series has not been translated as far as i can tell

if this gets enough engagement ill get the rest of the series up with subtitles

in the meantime follow this account for more daily chinese videos

another really cute chinese animation is about a new father and his young family.

the grandpa is a widow but acts a little mischievous in these animations

@MaryTracy a korean fan had the same question earlier!

[averychinesetime @averychinese]

@killme_ed "老婆" literally means old woman, but is almost always meant to mean "wife"

but wife is pretty formal, so "honey" is a better fit for the tone of this animation

new pickup method in china:

a netizen ordered a didi (chinese version of uber) and was greeted by a g wagon. instead of picking him up the driver offered him a pack of cigarettes in exchange for canceling the order.

confused, the netizen asked if he was only looking to pick up women in his nice car. the driver responded by asking him to not explain his game so clearly.

the netizen claimed he saw the driver proceed to pick up some women soon after he stopped recording.
