What is the chinese word for vegetarian?

Answer 1

Sorry to be rude to the second person but it's not 'Wo chi zhai', it's 'wo zhi chi cai'(我只吃菜)[pronounced 'wo' as in 'war' minus the 'r','chi' as in 'ch' in 'chair']. This means 'I only eat vegetables'. That is the sentence form.
The chinese WORD(I checked it) is '素食者'(su shi zhe).This is the noun for vegetarian.
Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

THE ANSWER PROVIDED TO YOU ABOVE IS INCORRECT AND IF YOU SAY IT ALOUD YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT SHE IS STATING A RUDE COMMENT TO YOU...

The CORRECT answer you are seeking is listed below with several websites that may be of assistance offering other vegan words / phrases used in Chinese culture

CHINESE PHRASES USED FOR VEGETARIAN OR VEGAN INCLUDE:

- Wo chi su (Pronounced: wo chur soo), meaning I am vegetarian

OR

- Wo chi zhai (Pronounced: wo chur jayy), meaning I am vegetarian (in the Buddhist sense, which means no onions and a host of other things not traditionally excluded from vegetarian diets, but people understand it to mean vegetarian in the American sense, as well

There is no real need (and no word really) for vegan, since vegetarian food in China rarely employs eggs, milk, etc.
