ChinesePod Answers 1) Jenny’s mistake was saying ‘7’ 七 instead of ‘10’. 2) If you listen to the lesson titled “how many members are there in your family” the answer they give is ‘8’ – 八 3) Tarsi wrongly translated the word ‘messy’ – ‘乱’ into clean. 4) Halve the exclamation “oh no” – “oh no” in Chinese is 糟糕. Halve this you get 糟... Mix these four characters up to get the Chengyu 乱七八糟 – messy and disorderly!
