【Learn Chinese】Chinese Lesson: Trains and other Vehicles
 
Train is a hugely useful word. If you are coming to China, chances are you’ll be taking a train of sorts so you’ll need to find the train station.

Train – 火车 huǒchē
Train Station – 火车站 huǒchē zhàn
There’s of course different types of train as well. The fast train you take from Beijing to Shanghai is not the same as the Metro you take underground.
Likewise the sleeper/slow train also differs so we’ve got some more to learn, but don’t worry, it’s all nice and easy!
Metro/Underground/Subway – 地铁 dìtiě
Fast/Bullet Train – 高铁 gāotiě
Hard Sleeper Train – 硬卧 yìng wò
Soft Sleeper Train – 软卧 ruǎn wò
 
We already learned vocabulary for cars and planes, here are other vehicle names in Chinese:
Golf Cart – 高尔夫球车 gāo’ěrfū qiú chē. Golf in Chinese is 高尔夫 so this is literally “Golf Ball Vehicle“.
Tank – 坦克 tǎnkè. Super simple to remember as the pronunciation is almost the same as the English.
Tractor – 拖拉机 tuōlājī. Literally “Drag Pull Machine“
