Two, three, four, five, south! Six, seven, eight, nine, north!
Strange as it may sound, this is the way the people on the Chinese mainland complain about the lack of clothes, food and other necessities.
Absent from the phrases are one
and ten
—i
and shih
in Chinese Mandarin. The words for clothes
and food
sound alike. Also missing are east
and west.
Their Chinese equivalents when put together as tung-hsi,
stand for things,
objects
or matters.
