[quote=NOWONEVER,443999]As a Chinese guy, I can explain the word piquant according to the evironment, I think the word is wrongly translated, in chinese it should be TAO QI, or TIAO PI,  I can see it caused a little confusion, active, often don't listen to their parents, and often make troubles, I think that's what the" sister's daughter" should be described.

So if a child breaks a vase while running everywhere, these words works.So basically, piquant is not the best word at the first place, I think it should be translated with naughty(I hope this time it's not that I don't understand the english word cause more confusion, if so anyone can point a better word for this) or intractable.

But we don't use this word a lot now, in china parenting means control, so BU TING HUA used a lot now, means kids don't follow their parents' words ,  which gives TAO QI and TIAO PI a chance for a new meaning, if I say TAO QI to my wife, it doesn't mean bad, it means I adore her, kinda like naughty(I think people know what I'm talking about:)[/quote]
