Advanced Chinese/HSK 5 /Flirting in Chinese Culture/CC Sub/Comprehensible Input

The word 撩is the closest Chinese equivalent to the concept of ‘flirting’. I talk about the its two different meanings and two different pronounciations. And how people nationwide mispronounce it so often that the wrong one becomes the one that people will understand.

What does flirting actually entail? I talk about the three essential components of the action “to flirt”, and how
the general conservative attitude toward dating makes Chinese people stay pretty “绷着 (bēngzhe)” in their interactions.

In the end, I move on to the Chinese style of “flirting” — 暧昧 (àimèi). it’s an incredibly cool word to know. It describes that ambiguous, in-between state of a relationship, as well as a way of speaking that can easily be misinterpreted.

So have you reached a conclusion to the title question: Can Chinese people flirt?

You’d probably have a more in-depth view if you’d dated a few Chinese — after all, experience is the best teacher.😜

Have fun listening ! I had fun talking !
