蔬菜

tip Today’s takeaway: in our everyday food and grocery conversation, 蔬菜 (shūcài) and 青菜 (qīngcài) can be used interchangeably. 蔬菜 is the broader term for all vegetables; 青菜 often means leafy greens. 我们去买点蔬菜 / 我们去买点青菜 (wǒmen qù mǎi diǎn shūcài / qīngcài) = “Let’s go buy some vegetables / greens.”
