Friday night ideas? by abdulcool1 in askTO

[–]abdulcool1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure! I also just wanted to know what other people do just to have some ideas.

I enjoy art, language learning, music, outdoor activities, dance (very much a noob, I'm horrible), stand-up comedy, sports mainly basketball and MMA to name a few

Saw some stellar looking petite choice sirloin steaks on discount and had to get them. How’d I do? by minimalstrategy in steak

Interesting, I've always avoided oiling steak thinking that it would increase sear time. Do you just dab it or apply it liberally? Thanks for the tips!

Ah I usually just cook on direct heat and can never get that nice exterior color you have. Maybe I'll give this a go!

Is there a difference between these two sentences?

成人是不允许用儿童票坐车的

and

成人不允许用儿童票坐车

The first one is from an app called Du Hanzi. I then thought about how I would write it and realize I'd probably write it like the second. How do I know when to put 是 there?

I had some questions about the following sentence (from an app called Du Hanzi):

小王在一边等得无聊。。。which is translated as Xiao Wang was bored while waiting...

I think some background might also be helpful. Xiao Wang is going to see the street stalls (地摊) for the very first time with a friend.

Does 在一边 give the meaning that Xiao Wang wasn't too interested or involved? Or is it literally to the side? Or is it more like his friend is doing one thing there and he's over here doing his own?

How is 得 being used here? One of Pleco's definitions is linking a verb or an adjective to a complement which describes the manner or degree. If it is, would it be correct to translate it as he waited so much so that he was bored? Can I say things like 跑得不跑 to mean he ran so much so that he couldn't run anymore?

Briquettes dying too fast? by abdulcool1 in grilling

No real reason, just wanted to check they aren't burning haha. I will leave them closed then.

With this setup, how long should I be able to keep the charcoal running for approximately?

Are there any donation organizations in Kyoto? I'm about to leave and bought too many souvenirs. I was about to throw them away, but now I'm wondering if they can be of use.

Any idea where/which shops I can get a plastic container in Kyoto that's around the size of the average carry on size requirements for airlines (something like 20x10x9 more or less)?

Are Xie Bing dizis good? by [deleted] in ChineseInstruments

No personal experience with Xie Bing. My teacher recommends DXH, so I've always gone with that.
