萬 wàn,  ten thousand
歲  suì, year of age
萬歲, wàn suì, long live (the king, the revolution etc)! / Your Majesty / His Majesty

In the Chinese dramas I watch, the officials of the kingdom would all-hail to the king in unison, “萬歲, 萬歲, 萬萬歲”, wishing him longevity. In today’s slang, it means to me “you are above all, the very best”. For example you can refer to objects things and people if you like,  sleep 萬歲 , “Sleeping is above all the best” or “Long live sleep”

Gas? Passing gas? ewww… My Car needs gas? You’re so close! What happens when you “add gas” to a vehicle? Your vehicle is filled with energy and ready to go further and faster. Right? Below are the two Chinese Characters that translates “Add Gas”.

加, jiā, to add / plus
油, yóu, oil/fuel (you can say it means Gas too, Gas = Fuel)

“Add Gas” is a term/slang I learned, among Chinese friends, to cheer you on and to encourage you to keep it up. Or…just  maybe…your car does need a refill 🙂

勉强 miǎn qiǎng, manage (to do something) with difficulty / force somebody to do something
没有 méi yÇ’u, haven’t / hasn’t / doesn’t exist / to not have / to not be
幸福 xìng fú, blessed / happiness / happy

“人各有志, 勉强没有幸福” To me this phrase means, “Each person has their own will/ what they want to do/ lean towards, any persistent and negatively forced efforts on self or others will not conceive happiness”.

Do things that make you HAPPY!
