重 zhòng refers to a strong taste or fragrance, usually characterized by a bold, rich flavor that leaves a lasting impression on the palate.

In terms of taste, 重 zhòng is often associated with umami, the savory taste that is often found in meat, seafood, and fermented products.

OneDotDot Chinese

Whenever I ask foreigners, "Do you speak Chinese?" they often reply, "a little bit" (yì diǎn diǎn). That inspired me to create this website and translate "yì diǎn diǎn" into the quirky and fun "One Dot Dot."

It’s also a reminder that learning Chinese is a journey, and progress happens one step at a time. By learning just a little bit every day, you’ll go far!
