How to say “save water” in Mandarin Chinese?
How do you say “save water” in Mandarin? My dictionary has provided no answers, my parents only speak Cantonese and my sister is hopeless. By “saving water”, I mean as in conserving water, and reducing water consumption. I’ve also tried the online translators, but they keep giving me translations equivalent to “rescue the water”. Urgh.
节约用水。
jie 2 yue1 yong4 shui3.
I will try my best to explain the difference between ”节约“ & “节省”：they both mean “to save”, but in different degree of “saving”.
“节约” means “not to waste”;
“节省” means ” stint, but in good way or intension”.
