    Yea, Chinese people understand when you do that, but they first look at you with this confused look thinking ‘he wants two chopstic pieces?’ and then realize you have a vocabulary of a two-year-old.

    Source:lived in China long enough to learn yo ask for things, but not long enough to learn the countable nouns.
