In China, some English language learners use Chinese characters to help them remember the pronunciation of English words. This isn't the most accurate way of learning English, but for learners who aren't (very) familiar with the Roman alphabet this is often the most user-friendly way. Hence the way they can remember the word blood is Bu(不)La(辣)De(的)!

Now go and find out if your Chinese friend, colleague or classmate will guess the answer to the riddle, let us know if they got it!
