@sinbach wow... I too read this story a few days ago. I can only imagine what I’d be accused of in using my broken sounding mandarin (that I’ve been learning since 2008)..... my tones are often inaccurate..... yikes 🥴
@sinbach I still use those filler words in everyday conversation.
@davidetter haha. I have daily conversations with our Chinese partners....sooooooo.....nage..nage...nage are apart of my daily vocabulary.
