Our today’s #FoodWednsday phrase will help you survive the cold😋

Can you think of any dishes that are best eaten while they’re still hot?

While hot – 趁热 chènrè🔥

趁热 While hot | YourMandarin

⭐️

趁 chèn – to take the advantage of
热 rè – hot, warm

⭐️

趁热 chènrè – while it’s hot; while it’s still warm

⭐️

When you use this phrase, always put it before the verb ‘eat’:

🔥 趁热吃
chènrè chī – to eat while it’s hot

⏱ 快,趁热吃吧!
Kuài, chènrè chī ba! Come on, eat before it gets cold!

👍 最好趁热吃
zuì hǎo chènrè chī – best eaten hot

🍲这个菜最好趁热吃
Zhège cài zuì hǎo chènrè chī – This dish is best eaten hot

⭐️⭐️

You can say it about drinks, too! For example, my coffee gets cold on the way to work in the morning – so there’s no way to 趁热喝 chènrè hē (unless you microwave it, 加热 jiā rè😁)
