Fatum SG

Coz in chinese they call it CNF, CIF, FOB etc too

Err this is the international trade terms standard

No matter what language, people know what they stand for

so what do they call these terms in mandarin ? ...

as in

terms: FOB shanghai ? ...

elindra SG

I still suggest for shipping terms you state it clearly in international standards like FOB CIF etc instead of translating into chinese

They will know what it means if not they really shouldn't be in business

Fatum SG

aiyoh ... let me huat first lah ....

the banks are trying their darnest to own my backside liao ....

elindra SG

as in

terms: FOB shanghai ? ...

Pls la no need to translate one these things

You better state it FOB Shanghai ...if you want you can write Shanghai in Chinese but not FOB

Reason being that this is international shipping term n in the event something happen u don't wanna be caught with translation right or wrong sia. All the rights and parameters of these are clearly stated in INCO Terms

Fatum SG

oh yah ... one more ....

cubic meter and cubic feet,

as in m^3 .....

4. 董事 is the title lah... if u writing to china man, usually (surname)董

Sorry. Correct a bit. The surename with that dong, is used for Taiwanese people mostly.

If its china, we usually just use 'sian sheng' mister.

elindra SG

FOB is a shipping term aka condition

So you better state it as FOB

M3..... -_-" I dunno what it's called in Mandarin

elindra SG

Anyway from Satan Gal who did shipping before

PORT OF RECEIVING（收货港)

PORT OF LOADING（装运港）

PORT OF DISCHARGE（卸货港)

PORT OF DESTINATION（目的港）

Fatum SG

FOB is a shipping term aka condition

So you better state it as FOB

M3..... -_-" I dunno what it's called in Mandarin

so just call it 条件: FOB 上海？

doesn't sound quite right leh the first part ...

elindra SG

yah, I'll put down FOB shanghai ....

but what do you call the "terms" in mandarin ? ....

And she reconfirmed with me that FOB, CIF, CNF are international terms and when were they available in Chinese :P

elindra SG

so just call it 条件: FOB 上海？

doesn't sound quite right leh the first part ...

Err it's not Conditions

The correct term should be "Shipping Terms"

But I dunno how to say that in Mandarin

elindra SG

nevermind I found out

运输条款: FOB 上海

elindra SG

Anyway Satan girl says this should help u look for the correct translations, including M3 etc

Errr...that depends on your relationship and the stage of this business negotiation.

Hear from you soon, is kinda means you are still offering and its not a done deal.

Hope to be able to work with you in the future. Kinda means you are not going forward with this deal.

不如就死 SG

Sorry. Correct a bit. The surename with that dong, is used for Taiwanese people mostly.

If its china, we usually just use 'sian sheng' mister.

nope.. china people don't really use xian sheng ..

my boss is svp, so usually ppl call him (surname)dong ..

viciouskitty74 SG

My father usually puts in:

If you have further queries or need to negotiate, do contact me at so and so number/email.

viciouskitty74 SG

nope.. china people don't really use xian sheng ..

my boss is svp, so usually ppl call him (surname)dong ..

Okay, noted.

Must try to use the dong more often instead.
