In Mandarin, “520” is commonly used online to mean “I love you,” because 五二零 wǔ èr líng sounds somewhat like 我愛你 wǒ ài nǐ.
It’s especially popular in texting and around May 20th.

Have you ever been in a real-life situation where you had to speak Chinese, but you didn’t know how to say something?
Maybe you were ordering food, buying coffee, taking a taxi, asking for directions, shopping, traveling, or talking to hotel/restaurant staff, and the other person didn’t understand you.
I’m looking for real examples like:
“I wanted to say ___, but I said ___, and they didn’t understand.”
Or:
“I didn’t know how to ask for ___ in Chinese.”
For example, ordering an Americano vs. a latte, asking for less ice, explaining a food allergy, asking where to pay, asking if something is available, etc.
I want to collect some real learner situations and make short videos explaining how to say these things naturally in Chinese.
If you have any awkward, funny, or frustrating examples, please share them 😊
