Please don't call me Chaglette D; it was a weird nickname from Luu, Dye (I think) and Koi before I poofed from this forum. Call me Nagi beer

Yep, 香蕉 is right :D Are you learning Chinese, by any chance?

I don't know what's milkshake in Chinese :oops: It's never mentioned here since the whole country uses English for almost everything instead of our various Mother Tongues. (Chinese, Malay, Indian... etc.)

So... I CALL IT MILKSHAKE 8) (someone else can give it a go)

Oh, I'm so sorry Nagi. I'll keep that in mind. To answer your question: Well, I grew up in a small Filipino-Chinese community where Mandarin Chinese and Hokkien (Chinese: 咱儂話; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Lán-lâng-ōe) are being spoken. My Mandarin is kinda rusty now, since I speak Filipino and English often.

Milkshake? I honestly don't know that in Filipino. We just say it as is. In Chinese, probably I can give this:

奶昔 - Nǎi xī (Traditional Chinese)

Manhole.
