Chop suey comes from Taishan (Toisan), a district of Guangdong Province (Canton), which was the home of many of the early Chinese immigrants to the U.S.

Chop suey (simplified Chinese: 杂碎 zá suì; literally "assorted pieces") is a Chinese dish consisting of meat (often chicken, fish, beef, shrimp (UK: prawns) or pork) and eggs, cooked quickly with vegetables such as bean sprouts, cabbage, and celery and bound in a starch-thickened sauce. It is typically served with rice but can become the Chinese-American form of chow mein with the addition of stir-fried noodles.

holiday leave in Hungary is determined by age. Standard annual leave up until the age of 25 is 20 days. This increases to 21 days from the age of 25 and then an additional working day every three years up until the age of 31 and an additional working day every two years up to the age of 45. Annual leave from the age of 45 is 30 working days.

这儿 and 这里 has the same meaning... 儿 sound is especially used around Beijing/Northern China.. You can find some other similar examples:

哪儿 - 哪里

玩儿 - 玩

空儿 - 空

In Chinese, sometimes we see this er attached to another final to form a retroflex final. In general, only the letter “r” is added. Note that when the preceding word ends with an “n,” the “n” becomes silent.
