Czech Cara Posted July 17, 2007 at 08:32 AM Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 at 08:32 AM I came across http://www.languageguide.org/mandarin/ which shows everyday vocabulary in different languages. I would like to ask, if the Mandarin section vocabulary is what is naturally used in everyday life, or just dictionary copy/pasted artificial stuff. I cannot judge myself, but I wonder if 无边帽 [ in 男装 part] is a commonplace in Chinese... As a language teacher, I know learning a mistake is far more worse than nothing. Thanks.

rootfool Posted July 17, 2007 at 09:04 AM Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 at 09:04 AM this is the first time I heard about "无边帽". I usually call it "遮阳帽zhe1 yang2 mao4" or "鸭舌帽ya1 she2 mao4" I think this is "无边帽".maybe people call it like this in HK or Tawan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magores Posted July 18, 2007 at 01:52 AM Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 at 01:52 AM I just asked my native Beijing co-worker. She said these are common words. 无边帽 = a round hat with no brim (stereotypical ancient Chinese hat, ski cap, Shriner's hat?) 遮阳帽 zhe1 yang2 mao4 = looks like a baseball cap 鸭舌帽 ya1 she2 mao4 = has ear flaps for when its cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rootfool Posted July 18, 2007 at 03:13 AM Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 at 03:13 AM As I know,this is 棒球帽/运动帽, this is 遮阳帽,you can also call them 鸭舌帽.And this is牛仔帽,this is 礼帽, but some people didn't distinguish them clearly.All of others we just call them "帽子". I seldom see any other names in book,on tv …….Of course, when you say "无边帽" to a chinese,he/she can understand what you mean.But it's not often used in our life. There's a easy way to know whether it's common used or not.Just search it in www.baidu.comhttp://www.baidu.com and see the quantity of results.For example, I can only find 12000 results with "无边帽".As a opposite,"棒球帽" gots one billion. 鸭舌帽 ya1 she2 mao4 = has ear flaps for when its cold "has ear flaps for when its cold",I know what it is---a hat with earcap.But I don't think it's called 鸭舌帽.Although I've had seen it before,I can't find any image of this in google.
