Chinese tattoo help I don't think it's awkward at all. The question is way too subjective. |

馅饼 in Cantonese Whereas is a conjunction, so it needs a main clause. |

馅饼 in Cantonese I have seen those before too. It's possible that 馅饼 has come to mean any pan-fried pastry with fillings. Were they flat on both sides or just on one side? |

What's a precise definition of 人家 Good explanation. I have a feeling that its usage is in decline. What do you think? |

Could 恭喜发财 sound inappropriate? @NS.X. Thanks! I've missed many of these new trendy terms since I left China. |

Is the expression 学识渊博 usually used in a pejorative sense? "Knowledgeable" comes to mind. |

Could 恭喜发财 sound inappropriate? I think the translation is more like "give me a red envelope or else!" :). |

Could 恭喜发财 sound inappropriate? It's interesting actually. Whenever someone says that to me, I always feel that person's being sarcastic. I am not rich, so there is nothing to be congratulated for. :P. |

How to use 凭 as a preposition I guess so.. or 凭借着.. (Actually just a side note, I noticed that you've been using both scripts. It's actually not necessary. There are plenty of script conversion sites on the Internet if anyone happens not to understand one or the other. Just thought it'd save you some time. It's nice of you to do that though. ) |

Is 级 necessary in 优先级 Both are possible actually. There is no need to limit a compound to just one part of speech. |

What is the etymology of 放我一马？ That makes sense, although I am seeing a lot of 放我一码 on the net. Could be a misspelling that has become an alternative form? |

What is the etymology of 放我一马？ You meant 放我一码 surely?... I can explain its literal meaning, but I am not sure about its cultural origin. It might have something to do with kites. |
