How would you translate the word '面子'? From time to time I heard people (English speaking) using "save face" or "to save face" in conversation. It is also in this online idioms dictionary. |

What's the grammatical structure for “<subject> <verbs> like a <noun>” style simile in Chinese Try this wikipedia page. You will be focusing in section 1, 明喻. I can (or someone) put some translation into answer later tonight. May need some new example to fit the question. |

What is the significance of 吃秋葵时过世? Since you brought up the idea that it may actually be originated from the English side, I am wondering if it has anything related with the book Death by Gumbo. Maybe someone was trying to do a translation of the book title?! |

What is the significance of 吃秋葵时过世? Unless it is some form of news headline or has some kind of historical reference, I really don't see any significance of the sentence. I don't recall any related specific usage. I think it is just some random online translation. Maybe someone can give more input. |

Any difference between 早安 and 早上好? (1) Simplified Chinese 簡體字 and Traditional Chinese 正體字 are always referring to the written character set, never to the spoken language / dialect (Mandarin/Cantonese). |

What is a polite way to ask “may I ask who is speaking?” @Growler Word to word, 请问 is more closer to May I ask ..., and 对不起/不好意思 = excuse me. However, 请问您是谁 = who is this please is good translation. |

Is the measure word optional in 这件毛衣?件 is a Unit/classifier/量詞. Sometimes it is optional, sometimes not. I have a small section about that in my other answer here. |

How did 黃 (yellow) come to mean “pornographic”? I know 黃色電影, 黃色書刊/黃書 is a common usage in Hong Kong. However I am not sure if the usage is originated from HK or elsewhere. |
