It has the same meaning in both Japanese and Chinese. In Chinese, it's pronounced 'cai', fourth tone ('ch' as in 'change' and 'ai' as in 'bye'). <br /><br />The term for 'weed' (as in 'unwanted plant')is 杂草 ('za cao'), while 'weed' (as in 'marijuana') is 大麻 ('da ma'). Unfortunately for Bobby, what's written on his back is undisputably, 'vegetable'. 'Fall Ark' is also correct in pointing out the derivative term 菜鸟 'cai niao' (literally: 'vegetable bird', meaning a rookie or noob). <br /><br />So, anyway you see it, Travis, I think your friend Bobby got a real bummer on this one.ghostlinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3919350949272858772.post-82750935681538096822010-08-25T08:11:49.121-07:002010-08-25T08:11:49.121-07:00Vegetable.
