March 1, 2011 at 12:30 AMI am confused about the exact meaning of 荤. Does this word include dairy, in addition to meat, fish and eggs? The dictionary also said it sometimes refers to garlic and onions.

Would "不要做” or "不会做" not mean, "I will not do it" as opposed to "I will not have done it"? Are these not differentiated in Chinese?

December 14, 2010 at 10:31 PMIn the host dialogue to this lesson it is said that one may never say, "不做过." But are there not contexts in which this could be used to mean, "I will not have done it"? Or maybe "不要做过" or "不会做过"?
