@javierruiz1114: Do you have any more examples? Because of the way the Chinese language is structured using characters, some words have interesting combinations. Volcano → fire mountain → 火山 Train → fire car → 火車 Chicken → fire chicken → 火雞 Ham → fire leg → 火腿 I’ve seen books that use this concept to sell more by claiming that Chinese is a very easy language to learn. Don’t be fooled! This only applies to a small percentage of the language. #chinese #taiwan #mandarin #funny #LanguageLearning

Train is pretty simple, old trains run on burning coal. I believe for turkey it's because of the distinct red colors on its head

火腿是因为金华火腿出名后,这类目的都叫火腿了。而金华火腿之所以叫做火腿是因为它的颜色像火一样红

As a Chinese speaker I’ve always thought everyday Chinese very simple and logical. And sometimes a bit…caveman like. Me hungry. Me want fire leg and fire chicken. Haha. Not counting Classical Chinese or or anything official or technical, of course. That’s poetic.

It’s rly easy to see the connections😂trains were using steam engines, which requires fire;turkey has a big red head, red connects with fire; ham is cooked leg, cooking requires fire, so fire leg 😂

火腿是中国本土食材,金华火腿指的就是用盐腌过的猪腿,因为腌过之后发红,所以叫火,只是用了同样的词描述ham而已
