An ex-student on my evening Chinese programme who teaches drama (including Chinese opera) as a university course/module wanted to do a survey among Chinese drama students. He decided to have a go himself at drafting the questionnaire in Chinese, then sent it to me for checking.
After explaining the aim of the questionnaire, he then asked the informants to 滴答 dīdā the boxes. I told him that 滴答 dīdā is “tick” as in “tick-tock of a clock”!
