How to say clam and claw in Chinese
One of our dedicated readers here at clb used the Ask a Question feature to submit the following question:
"I need to know the chinese symbol for the words clam and claw thank you very much"
The word for clam was covered in a recent article on how to say clam and clam strip tease:
Clam = 蛤 = ge2.
The word for claw is pronounced zhao3, and the character is 爪.
(Claw is a great word for saying things like 爪蛙, pronounced, zhao3wa1, which means clawed frog. Building on that theme, you can also use claw to say 爪蛙猿人. The 3rd character is yuan2, which means ape, and the last character is ren2, which means man. So if you add up claw frog + ape man you get "a type of ape-man who lived during the Paleolithic Age, and whose fossil was discovered in 1891, the earliest discovery of its kind in the world, in Java, Indonesia.")
