Lesson 22 of 30

Make a Movie #2038 - 艾

KEYWORD:

A.I.D.S. 

Pinyin:

ài 

Actor:

Ø- Jackie Chan 

Set:

-ai 

Room within Set:

Bathroom -or- Backyard 

Prop(s):

艹 - Rose 

乂 - Lawnmower  

Notes:

As you might expect, the original meaning of this character was not "A.I.D.S," but rather "Chinese mugwort or wormwood." You won't find that original definition very useful, however, 艾 is often found in transliterations, particular the word 艾滋病, aka Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
