New Members yitian Posted April 24, 2015 at 03:43 AM New Members Report Posted April 24, 2015 at 03:43 AM Hi All, This is the sentence: 还是换一块吗? I can not figure out its meaning. Need some help! Thanks! Quote
New Members Raian Posted April 24, 2015 at 07:23 AM New Members Report Posted April 24, 2015 at 07:23 AM Hi, what's your context? as you konw,"一块" has several meanings,such as "a piece of "or "one yuan (RMB)"etc Quote
Demonic_Duck Posted April 24, 2015 at 08:38 AM Report Posted April 24, 2015 at 08:38 AM Needs more context as Raian says, but it's probably something like "or [do you want to] swap it for another one?" Where "it" is any object that can take the measure word “块”. Quote
Mouseneb Posted April 25, 2015 at 03:19 AM Report Posted April 25, 2015 at 03:19 AM Yes, context is so important ☺ My boss often suddenly asks me for the English translation of an isolated word that might have many different meanings, and then seems surprised when I ask him for at least the whole sentence to work out which meaning he intends!
