i believe (normal red orange) carrot in mandarin is luobo. The radish daikon is bai luobo. White carrot. Even though it’s a radish and not a carrot. But now that white (and purple and other colors) carrots exist, what are they called? Naturally should be bai luobo but that’s already daikon.

You can leave off the hu and people understand you mean carrot. Still, how do say white carrot and mean white carrot and not daikon?

You are correct. I'll ask my wife but I don't think Chinese makes a differentiation between the two. SIG556 Classic P220 Carry SAS Gen 2 SAO SP2022 9mm German Triple Serial P938 SAS P365 FDE P322 FDE Psalm 118:24 "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" | |||

Look son, just use your hands to explain while speaking loudly and slowly and all them foreign types will understand. Works great for Spanish, French, German, Mandarin, really all languages really. English is great! ___________________________________________ Life Member NRA & Washington Arms Collectors Mistake not my current state of joshing gentle peevishness for the awesome and terrible majesty of the towering seas of ire that are themselves the milquetoast shallows fringing my vast oceans of wrath.
