AI in daily life
12
This set is about how artificial intelligence has quietly folded into everyday life in China. People no longer treat it as a novelty — they just say things like "这个我问一下AI" (let me just ask the AI) or "我让豆包帮我写一下就好了" (I'll have Doubao write it for me), reaching for apps like Doubao, DeepSeek, Tongyi or Ernie Bot the way you'd reach for a search bar. What feels striking is the casualness and speed: someone will marvel "这个AI几秒钟就写好了" (the AI wrote it in seconds), and in the same breath a parent will sigh that "现在的小孩做作业都问AI了" (kids these days even ask AI for their homework). Learn these lines by ear and you can hear how fast a whole country has made AI part of the ordinary day.
Robots everywhere
12
Robots have quietly moved into everyday life in China, and it can catch you off guard the first time. In many restaurants "现在餐厅都是机器人送菜" (the food comes to your table on a robot), takeout can land at your door by drone in "十分钟就到了" (ten minutes), and at home a robot vacuum "自己会回去充电" (heads back to charge itself). These phrases capture the small, real moments — the curious, slightly amazed "科技发展太快了" (tech is moving so fast) feeling of watching the future show up in ordinary places.
Electric vehicles
12
This page collects the everyday Chinese you'll hear now that electric cars are everywhere in China — from casual remarks like 满街都是电动车 (the streets are full of EVs) and 现在大家都开电车了 (everyone drives EVs now) to the little brags about how fast and loaded they are, like 充电十几分钟就能跑几百公里 (charge for a dozen minutes and go hundreds of kilometers). What strikes visitors is how fast it all became normal: BYD, Xiaomi's SU7, NIO battery-swap stations, green license plates, cars that do karaoke and play movies. Learn these lines by ear and you'll catch how ordinary — and how quietly futuristic — daily driving has become in China.
