    What does this mean? Ce qui s’est passé le jour du spectacle. It tells me to answer this question. I don't understand....does it mean "what happened during the spectacle" or "what happened in the day of the spectacle" I don't understand :(

    It means they feel uncomfortable and uneasy (awkward and embarrassed...basically the synonyms of 'self-conscious'. )

    Dear ___ , Today is a wonderful day, because it is the same day as the day the world received a present: a new life and an amazing person like you. Happy Birthday, ____! (I changed a lot of things, but it's just to make it better. It doesn't mean that all of your grammar is wrong! Good job!)

    Difference between 'ce que' and 'ce qui'? I can't tell the difference. Something subject and direct object...a slight difference? I really don't understand, even though I did some prior research already. I look at the sentences and the usage of 'ce que' and 'ce qui' look the same to me.

    Yeah, basically 彷彿 is more common in written form...or really just a more 'literary' way to say it. But 好像 is okay, too. Think 彷彿 means 'seemingly', or 'almost as if'. This is seemingly a terrible ordeal. It is as if she had a shock. And 好像 as your normal 'like'. I'm just comparing how those two are used, in English. It's just this slight difference.

    Ça me vs C'est For example, "ça en vaut de plein" means "it is worth it", right? But...well, I know ça works like cela and is different from "ce". But still, I don't understand when to use c'est or...I find it confusing when suddenly the text uses ça. So what is ça en? How is it different from 'c'est', and how am I going to use them? (sorry, the title means ça en vs c'est) Thank you!

    Chinese war dramas usually involve quite a lot of politics, but maybe it's not that modern, and could be set in the 1940s, for example. I'm sure there are modern ones, but they are not the trend here; historical drama is. But business is honestly in A LOT of dramas. Almost every modern drama, and the modern romance dramas, have a lot of business scenes. Almost all of them. For example, the super popular Ode To Joy drama (which has English subtitles online to watch). It revolves around this business woman who graduated from Columbia University and is the CFO of a company. And the other female lead character is also the CEO of a company...there are a LOT of business jargon that I didn't understand, so I'm sure you'll love this drama. Plus it also shows the Chinese culture, lifestyle, and language very well. I highly recommend it. Basically, as long as it is 言情 and 都市 (modern dramas set in cities), you'll find what you're looking for. I haven't watched this but 中国式关系 seems to of a very high quality with great actors and a lot of business or politics. It is made in 2016. Go to this website; it shows all the Chinese dramas there are by category (and no category is 'business/politics') http://kan.sogou.com/dianshiju/dushi-neidi---/ http://kan.sogou.com/dianshiju/zhanzheng-neidi---/ 我主沉浮, btw, from 2005, is about politics, but I haven't watched it either.

    Yup! Zhong guo de cai4 (China's food/ Chinese food.(lit: vegetables)..think dishes.) BUT sometimes no. Like Shan3 xi1 cai4 陝西菜 means Shanxi-nese food. But, Shan Xi de cai is also ok. Ok, sorry about this confusing explanation. So basically, adding 'de' should be correct everytime, although sometimes it feels like it means 'China's' instead of 'Chinese', if you get what I mean. But it's safe to use 'de' all the time. Just know that next time if you don't see the 'de' it may also be correct! Hope I helped :)
