[quote=XJD1007,300137]Here in Chongqing a TAXI is referred to as a Da di and I always thought the real name was the unpronouncable Chu1zu1qi4che1 ============================ Da di or Da che1 (call a taxi) is used all over the country. 打“da” literaly means "to beat sth", but actually, the word "Da" can be used in many other situations, any movement linked with "up and down", "in and out" can be described with DA. For example, Da3 dian4 hua4(make a phone call), you pick up the phone and dial/press a number. Da di/che, you raise your hand to stop a taxi. Da qiu2(play balls), Da ban2(dress up or make up), Da du2(bet), Da dunr2(take a nap), Da guan1 si1(go to court to sue or be sued by sb), Da zi4(type), and this Da pao4 [young gilrs don't see] (to have sex with your girl) [/quote]
