涼茶
loeng4 caa4 |
||
The original name was 苦茶. But Cantonese avoid the use of the original name because 苦 means "bitter”, which is considered as inauspicious. So 涼, which means "cool, refreshing" is chosen to replace 苦.
Level: 3 This term is used in both Cantonese and Mandarin/Standard written Chinese. |
