骏马的丕沿? Posted March 3, 2021 at 02:09 AM Report Posted March 3, 2021 at 02:09 AM It’s difficult to tell without the characters. Wojiele could mean one of these, perhaps: I’m done I married I received it I quit (the bad habit) Does this make sense? Please let me know if it doesn’t. I’ve provided additional explanation in Chinese, below, if you’re interested. ————————————————— 我接了 我借了 我戒了 我结了 “wojiele”最可能是最前面三个之一的意思 “我接了” 可意为 “我接收了那个包裹或什么的” “我戒了” 可意为 “我戒掉了那个坏习惯” “我结了” 可意为 “我结婚了” Quote
