... means meteor or shooting star. I learned this and other fancy words today at the "Let's Sing in Chinese" class. It was the first time I went there (since the supplementary classes are not mandatory for me). I was just curious and it turned out to be really fun. The lyrics have another level than the everyday language (for example, "How do I get from school to the MRT station?" or "Which dish do you recommend?") we practice in the classroom and we learn to appreciate the songs. Chinese, like English, is a beautiful language with many phrases that are hard to translate to other languages because some things are tightly connected to Chinese culture and traditions. I'll definitely go to this class again!
