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.

We used the mash-up challenge: combine a food and a piece of clothing! FOOD + FASHION!

This led to some really weird combinations!

Look in the video for a “Chiku Wearing a Singlet” and a “Gummy Bear Wearing a Tutu”!

 

And these are the words we learned:

Cupcake wearing mittens (gloves)
戴手套的杯子蛋糕
dài shǒutào de bēizi dàngāo

Scallion Pancake wearing underwear
穿内裤的葱油饼
chuān nèikù de cōng yóu bǐng

Chiku wearing a singlet
穿汗衫的人心果
chuān hànshān de rénxīnguǒ

Tea Bag wearing a T-shirt
穿T-恤 的茶包
chuān T-xù de chá bāo

Carrot Jack and the Beanstalk
胡萝卜杰克与魔豆
Húluóbo jiékè yǔ módòu

Hamburger wearing socks
穿袜子的汉堡
chuān wàzi de hànbǎo

Gummy Bear wearing a tutu
穿芭蕾舞裙的小熊软糖
chuān bālěiwǔ qún de xiǎoxióng ruǎn táng

And here’s a mini-poster you can use for reference:

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.
