How do I say “a loaf of bread”?

Question

According to Google translate it is 一个面包, but that doesn't sound right.

How do I say "A loaf of bread"?

UPDATE:

This is what I mean by a "loaf" of bread. Not just a bun.

Answer 1

It depends a little bit on the type of bread.

For a long bread 条 is used. For a slice of bread 片 is used. 块 can also be used for a slice, but is also used for buns, a piece of bread or a complete bread.

Answer 2

I don't think native speakers can give you a definite answer simply because we don't eat bread that often here!

I would say something like 他吃了一整块切片面包 or 他吃了一整袋切片面包. 切片面包 is literally "sliced bread". Most of the bread you see in Chinese grocery stores (超市) is sliced.

Answer 3

in verbal Chinese, you can just say 一个面包,

if you say 片, 块 etc. that seems a little formal.

In verbal Chinese, people don't care which measure word to use. We just say 个 in most situation.

note that just in verbal.

我吃了俩（or 两个）面包 她刚吃了1个番薯、1个面包、5块饼干、2个糖果…这样吃一餐,会不会长胖？
