fa cai
The Chinese way to say ‘Happy New Year’ but spelled like a bad kid got detention. It’s not Gong Xi Fa Cai, it’s just fa cai, and you’re probably pronouncing it wrong.
I tried to say ‘Happy New Year’ in Chinese, but I just said fa cai and got laughed at.
My teacher said I need to learn the right way to say fa cai, not just mumble it.
I texted my mom ‘fa cai’ and she replied with a picture of a dead fish.
