May 5, 2022 at 8:31 AM我没有喝过粉柠檬汽水，是什么味道呢？As for your question, you can use 凉 to describe drinks. For example, 凉水. For 暑, however, it means "heat; summer", so you would see the character mainly in words related to summer, for example, 暑假.

May 4, 2022 at 11:00 AMThank you for your suggestion! Although I don't really know what you mean by the suggestion. Could you clarify what you meant by "when a word's not related to the YouTube video title"? To get rich is 发 [fā].

May 4, 2022 at 10:43 AMVery interesting questions! You can say 电动扶梯 and 自动扶梯 for escalators. As for 处 and 所, they have quite similar usages in the sense that they can both mean "area; place". For example, 住所 and 住处 literally mean "living place" (residence).

May 4, 2022 at 9:55 AMGood question! 文 usually puts more emphasis on the written language while 語 and 話 focus on the spoken language. But nowadays most people use the words interchangeably.
