Which is your zodiac animal symbolic for?
Do you know which zodiacs match yours best? (Check it out when you look for a girlfriend/boyfriend)
Last but not the least, never say: 我是猴(wǒ shì hóu). It means “I am a monkey.” Use this pattern for your zodiac:
我属(wǒ shǔ)+the animal = My Chinese zodiac is…
When you ask someone, you could use this one:
你属什么(nǐ shǔ shénme)? = What’s your Chinese zodiac?
Wish you happy Monkey year~~~~
