Coffee = 咖啡 [kāfēi]

Coffee: 咖啡 (kāfēi)

Coffee = 咖啡 [kāfēi]

A steaming mug with a spoon in it sits beside two coffee beans. The name sounds almost like the English word: 咖啡.

咖啡 (kāfēi) means “coffee.” It is a sound loan, written with two characters that both contain 口, the mouth radical.

A cup of coffee is 一杯咖啡 (yì bēi kāfēi). A café is 咖啡馆 (kāfēiguǎn).

我每天早上喝咖啡。 — Wǒ měitiān zǎoshang hē kāfēi. — I drink coffee every morning.

来一杯咖啡,谢谢。 — Lái yì bēi kāfēi, xièxie. — A cup of coffee, please.
