Beginner Level 初级 (chūjí)
The correct answer to this test is B.
Analysis:
A. “火车 (huǒchē)” are the Chinese characters for “train,” so “坐火车 (zuò
huǒchē)” means “to go by train.”
B. “飞机 (fēijī)” are the Chinese characters for “plane,” so “坐飞机 (zuò fēijī)”
means “to go by plane/air.”
C. “地铁 (dìtiě)” are the Chinese characters for “metro,” so “坐地铁 (zuò dìtiě)”
means “to go by metro.”
D. “公交 (gōngjiāo)” are the Chinese characters for “bus,” so “坐公交 (zuò
gōngjiāo)” means “to go by bus.”
When I learned Mandarin, I learned that “公共汽车 (ɡōnɡ ɡònɡ qìchē)” also means “bus.” “公交 (ɡōnɡjiāo)” and “公共汽车 (ɡōnɡ ɡònɡ qìchē),” which one is right?
I’m learning Mandarin now, and I would like to know how to say “to go by boat” in Chinese. Can anyone help?
Both of them are right. “公交 (ɡōnɡjiāo)” is another name of “公共汽车 (ɡōnɡ ɡònɡ qìchē).”
