jie2li4 Posted January 17, 2007 at 03:08 PM Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 at 03:08 PM I'm wondering how you would say "bruise" in Chinese, as in "I fell down the stairs, and now I have this huge bruise on my leg." I've looked in a few dictionaries but there seem to be so many different possible translations and I can't tell which one is best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaox0018 Posted January 18, 2007 at 06:09 AM Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 at 06:09 AM what about the verb form, such as I bruised myself or this apple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koneko Posted January 18, 2007 at 11:13 AM Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 at 11:13 AM Right, apart from those listed above by Skylee & me. I think it's also quite common to hear people say, 青一块,紫一块 (as an adjective) in general speech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
