你好 Leah,

分开付不是中国人的习惯,但是现在也越来越普遍了。“To go Dutch” - 你可以说“分开付”,“各付各的”或者“各自付账”。

下次见!😄

Hello guy,

Thank you for your comment and for letting us know.

Yes it's a typo, the pinyin of 什么 is shénme. We will fix it as soon as possible.

As always, let us know if you have any questions.

“我们可以分开付吗”这个问题很有用。在中国,我常常跟一个美国朋友一起出去玩、吃饭或者看电影。付钱的时候,服务员常常说一共的金额。这个现象是中国的习惯吗?在美国我们平常分开付,所以服务员就告诉我们一个人要付多少钱,不用问他可不可以分开付。很多人习惯这样做。英文里边有一个说法 “to go Dutch”, 中文有没有这样的说法吗?

Hello

Thanks a lot for these useful sentences. One question about the pinyin of :

今天的特色汤是什么?

Jīntiān de tèsè tāng shì shénmó?

shénmó or shén me ? maybe just a typo ?
