| GUEST12883 | err...It's really hard to translate "jia you" into Enlgish by one single word or one phrase! Maybe "come on" is the most approximately. jia you, the original meaning is to fill oil into a gasoline tank, or when something doesn't run well or before cooking. other meanings, 1) to encourage/surport someone/something when it is depressed. 2) to boost the morale of someone/something when it is being at a game/battle/etc. 3) a good wish/hoping that someone/something do it's better or do more efforts. |
