Why does the Chinese word for "Eyes" sound like
Yen-jing?!
眼睛
The Real Meaning
In Mandarin Chinese, the character 眼睛 (pronounced as yǎn jīng) actually translates to Eyes.
The Funny Part
Sounds like 'yen' (Japanese currency) + 'jing'. A Beijing eye doctor handles both yǎn jīng and Yánjīng beer (燕京).
