For a gamer, 马桶 (mǎ tǒng) is not just a toilet — it is also a chair beside the gaming desk. That absurd seat makes mǎ tǒng easy to remember.
A dinosaur built from steel bars stands behind a fence, as tall as a building. Even made of metal, it is a 恐龙.
恐龙 (kǒng lóng) means “dinosaur.” 恐 is fear and 龙 is dragon: a fearsome dragon. Count dinosaurs with 只 (zhī): 一只恐龙 (yì zhī kǒnglóng).
