in_lab Posted August 8, 2004 at 06:59 AM Report Posted August 8, 2004 at 06:59 AM I want to say something like "I've gotten used to drinking my water at room temperature." The water is warmer then liang2 and colder than wen1. Many wine drinkers know that most red wines should be served at room temperature 許多人都知道紅酒要在室溫飲用 I think 室溫 wouldn't be understood in conversation. Any ideas for a more colloquial way of describing this state? Quote
ChineseHeel Posted August 9, 2004 at 04:53 AM Report Posted August 9, 2004 at 04:53 AM My guess is that most people would understand 室溫, although they don't hear it much at all. 常温 might be more popular. Quote

roddy Posted August 9, 2004 at 06:07 AM Report Posted August 9, 2004 at 06:07 AM That’s what I get for sneakily posting at work . . . Quote
in_lab Posted August 11, 2004 at 06:08 AM Author Report Posted August 11, 2004 at 06:08 AM Thanks for the replies. The problem I think I was originally making was trying to use 室溫 as an adjective. Looking at a search for 常溫的, it seems that it is rarely used that way. Quote
