Check out our video of yet another crazy Dim Sum Warriors Bilingual Doodle Date—where our artist Colin draws the wacky things kids suggest, while former professor Yen Yen and certified Taiwanese schoolteacher Teacher Hsiao help to translate them into Chinese.

Duration: 20 mins | Hosts: Woo Yen Yen, Colin Goh and Teacher Hsiao

In this session—on 12 December 2020—we continued with the theme of food characters wearing different types of clothing! (For Part 1 with this theme, go here: [How do you say different kinds of clothing in Chinese? | Dim Sum Warriors)

The kids really challenged Colin with their wacky suggested combinations—but he was too busy chuckling to complain. We’re very impressed with your imagination, kids—or maybe it’s Mummy and Daddy trying to get in on the fun too. No worries! The whole family is welcome to play with us in our Doodle Dates! We bet some grownups will pick up some new words too!

Here are the words we covered—all within the space of only 20 minutes:

How to say different clothing in Chinese?

Note: Where there are differences between Simplified Chinese 简体字 (used in mainland China, Singapore and Malaysia) and Traditional Chinese 繁体子 (used in Taiwan and Hong Kong), you can see the Simplified version on the left/top and the Traditional version on the right/bottom.
