I know in English there are many names for carrots, such as “radish” and “carrot”. Any there other Chinese characters for carrots?.
June 23rd, 2010 at 10:44 am
Yes, there are. In Chinese characters, we have “白萝卜(ternip)” and “红萝卜carrot.”

I once heard a Chinese saying about the Chinese characters萝卜: “萝卜青菜,各有所爱.” Does it mean “One man’s meat is another man’s poison”?

Page guy, “萝卜青菜,各有所爱.”is not that meaning, it means man love their loves.
