I'm trying to collate a number of amusing Japanese words that sound simply weird in Chinese. These are common everyday Japanese words that raised my eyebrows at first glance. Hope you find them as amusing as I do...
First up is something I see often on buses and subways. The emergency exit (hijouguchi) is what we call Fei1 Chang2 (tones are numbered) in Chinese. This means 'often'. Does this mean we have to use always this door to exit on our bus rides?
