What do you all call the wet market in Chinese? 巴杀 or ..

[Yuri]

Is it 巴杀 or is it something else?

I was speaking to someone today and she said that 巴杀 is the right term. However, if I'm not wrong, 巴杀 is taken from the Malay term "pasar malam", so I insisted that was a localised term.

So, who's right? And if 巴杀 is not the correct term, then what would it be? ;)

街市、市场？

真的？！

我还以为自几犯了个错吴 因为好几年，没几为说华语，了！

What's your definition of "wet market" ?

[Yuri]

Well, I'm still learning Chinese(actually trying to brush it up for the first time in so many years), hence, I'm kind of confused. -__-;; The only phrase I learnt in school was 巴杀 but I've heard that it was a localised term.

[Quest]

I never heard of 巴杀。

[Yuri]

Hmmm... it seems the term is used in Singapore and also Taiwan?? Odd though... -__-;;

Anyone else care to comment?

Excuse my ignorance but what do you mean by Wet Market?

高中英文（三）測驗B卷，第13回第3大題第1小題： 「1.Things are sold at higher prices in the supermarket than in the wet market.」 請問wet market 其代表意義為何？

wet market 就是傳統市場的意思，有別於像頂好、松青等超市。老師們可以利用網路搜尋引擎，如 Google image（http://images.google.com/）輸入 wet market，就可以找到很多有關 wet market 的網頁照片資訊，看圖就知道意思了，或者直接點選如下網址也可以：http://images.google.com.tw/images?q=wet+market&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=zh-TW&btnG=Google+%E6%90%9C%E5%B0%8B

Btw, a wet market sells poultry, vegetables and fruits. I'm not really sure how to explain it.
