Have you ever heard “Tuhao, let’s be friends?” Are you puzzled, wondering it means? Then you’re possibly out of date.
Nowadays, the Chinese words “tuhao” and “dama” have become so familiar with many Chinese people that they often play jokes each other when chatting about the daily life. For example, if you take out your new
(fashion) mobile phone, your naughty friends may call you “tuhao”, laughing loudly and happily.
(amaze), the two wildly popular words have become hot words in English too. Recently, the BBC produced a program to introduce “tuhao”,
can be considered as “new money (暴发户)” in English.
Besides, The Wall Street Journal has also borrowed “dama” from the Chinese pinyin (describe) bargain-hunting middle-aged Chinese women
(call) “a force in the global gold market”.
(expert) say the Chinese language’s influence on English will continue during
entire 21st century,
it is expected that “tuhao” will be welcomed by the Oxford University Press to appear in the new word lists.
