Pronunciation[edit]


Noun[edit]

肉夾饃

  1. roujiamo (sliced meat sandwich popular in northern China)

Usage notes[edit]

Many erroneously interpret this term as (ròu, “meat”) + (jiā, “to sandwich; to press from both sides”) + (, “bun”), i.e. “the meat sandwiches the bun”, which is obviously the opposite of reality.
