Dongxi
The Mandarin word for "thing" or "things" is dōngxi. It is made up of two characters: dong means "east" and xi means "west".
When these two characters are used together, dongxi can mean "east and west", but more commonly they refer to things in general.
Example:
Nèi gè dà de dōngxi shì shénme?
What is that big thing?
Traditional Characters:
那個大的東西是什麼?
Simplified Characters:
