#16 以为 | Chinese Gift Taboos: What Not to Give | HSK 4

🎁 How do you say “I thought…” or “I assumed…” in Chinese when your original idea turns out to be wrong? In this HSK 4 episode, you’ll learn how to use 以为, a very common word for talking about mistaken assumptions, misunderstandings and situations where you thought one thing, but later discovered something different. You’ll also explore Chinese gift taboos: why some gifts may feel inappropriate in certain situations, why pronunciation matters, and why clocks, umbrellas, shoes, pears, white packaging or the number 4 can sometimes create awkward misunderstandings. 📚 Learn Chinese with the Best Teachers!
