Biggest Problem in Learning Chinese
After attempting to learn Chinese for a while now, I've discovered one of the largest impediments to learning and using the language.
It seems like almost everything is called Zhege (这个) . . .
When I go to the market I point to the produce and say . . . wo yao Zhege (我要这个)
In restaurants, every dish on the menu seems to be called the same . . . I point to the dish I want and call it by it's name . . . Zhege (这个)
I could go on and on. Why is everything called Zhege (这个)??? Couldn't they think of at least a few other names for things?
Just asking.
