The language probably lacks the simple descriptive translation OP would find helpful. I took two years of mandarin in high school, and there’s no distinction between certain particular things. For instance, “rat” and “mouse” are both “shu,” so asking for a particular names in such an instance would indeed be pointless.

That would be even more frustrating honestly if the person I was buying bread for was then picky about kind of bread. "Hey I didn't want bread I wanted bread" Uhm yeah

China. That’s where.
