Why does the Chinese word for "Miss / Young lady" sound like
Shao-jee-eh?!
小姐
The Real Meaning
In Mandarin Chinese, the character 小姐 (pronounced as xiǎo jiě) actually translates to Miss / Young lady.
The Funny Part
Used to be polite. Now in some regions it means 'prostitute'. Be VERY careful where you use this.
