Chineighs Word of the Day - Super Trampoline



They say the best way to learn a language is to actually use it, so each day I'll post a short story featuring a Chineighs word in place of an Equestrian one. This will be focusing on Pinyin as opposed to characters, because characters are a pain!

Zǒu (走): To Walk

"Lyra, why are you zǒu like that?! You keep falling!"

"Bon Bon, I've told you, it's how humans zǒu!" I want to learn to zǒu like human people, so when I go through the mirror portal someday, I'll already be an expert!"

"Oh, Lyra, can't you just zǒu like yourself? Is that not enough?"

"Bonny, I told you when we started dating, if you can't accept my oddities..."

"I know, '...don't accept me at all.'. And I do try to accept all your weird little eccentricities. Honestly, this one isn't that weird. But it's eleven thirty at night, and everytime I'm about to fall asleep, I'm awoken by you falling on your flank or your face again! Come to bed, practice zǒu tomorrow. Practice cuddling with me now."
