What is Chinglish?

Common Types
- Literal Translation: "Good good study, day day up" (Study hard, improve daily).
- Mistranslation: "Slip carefully" (Caution: Slippery floor).
- Cultural Concepts: "Lose face" (Humiliation).
- Internet Slang: "No zuo no die" (If you don't do stupid things, you won't die).
