水果籃
shuǐ guǒ lán
[shuǐ guǒ lán]
💬 Usage Tip: Chinese often puts one noun directly before another, and the first one describes the second: [水果籃] is literally "fruit basket." You can reuse that pattern with things like [茶杯] "tea cup" or [生日禮物] "birthday gift."
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: A [水果籃] feels like a safe, conventional gift in Taiwan for visiting someone, thanking someone, or seeing a patient. It can come off as a bit formal or generic rather than personal, which is often exactly why people choose it.
