what does kim chi mean ? is it asian language or what?

Answer 1

Korean dish. Preserved Vegetable, usually cabbage. Spicy and sometimes sour.

Answer 2

(: Kimchi is a popular Korean side dish, made of pickled vegetables. In Korea there are deep pots submerged partially in the ground (the lid above ground) filled with the vegetables (cabbage, for example) and packed with potent spices such as garlic and chili. It is a very strong and spicy food, depending on how long the vegetables ferment. In Korea there are even signs on taxis that say they won’t take passengers who just ate strong kimchi because the taste is so potent it makes your breath pretty powerful too. In fact, there is a saying “in deep kimchi” when you are in trouble because the deeper into the kimchi pot you go, the stronger the kimchi is. Winter kimchi is the most potent because it has been fermenting for months.

You should try some! If you don’t like it, at least you can honestly say you tried it, didn’t like it. As the Chinese proverb goes, “Try a new dish, add a year to your life.”

Answer 3

Kim Chi is a spicy, fermented side dish that Koreans eat every day. It can be eaten on its own, or it can be fried, made into soup, or added to other dishes. Some Koreans will tell you that it cures or prevents cancer, SARS, and a variety of other ailments. While KimChi does have some good, healthy qualities, some of the medical claims are a little far fetched.

Answer 4

Kimchi is a Korean dish (food).

Kimchi is a product that is fermented through lactic acid production at low temperatures to ensure proper ripening and preservation. It is processed with a seasoning mixture mainly consisting of red pepper powder, garlic, ginger, green onion and radish
'Ever since human beings began cultivation, they have enjoyed vegetables that are rich in vitamins and minerals. However, during the cold winter season, cultivation was practically impossible, which naturally led to the development of a storage method: pickling. As a kind of pickled (salted) vegetables kimchi was born in Korea around the 7th century.

Note: Many westerners find the smell of Kimchi very offensive.

Answer 5

Although many Asian country is strongly influenced with Chinese , most of them has their own way of using it in their language, like how roman alphabet is used in many European, yet, created different language.
And, not like Chinese, Kim Chi is Korean world,written as it sound, has no symbolic meaning. It's simply a name of the dish.
Korean words works pretty much like English, you have to put them together to create any meaning full word.

Answer 6

Well, the real meaning of Kim Chi is actually just "watered vegatables" and it is from an ancient form of the Korean language. The Kim Chi of today, with the hot red pepper, was (as most Koreans refuse to admit) brought to Korea from Japan, whose merchant marine traded with South
America often enough to import large amounts of the red chilis that are used to make modern Kim Chi.

Kim Chi did exist in Korea prior to that, but it was just salted vegetables served in water, much like water kim chi (물김치) is today.

The roots of the word kim chi (김치) are most often traced back to the Chinese characters (沈菜) "Shen Cai" whose ancient meaning is actually pickled vegetables, but this is often cited as a mistranslation. The same character (沈) "Shen" or (김) "Kim" is tranlated more appropriately as "watered" by Korean sources, which I have cited below.

Hope that helps.

Most above answers are correct, except that kimchi is actually pretty good and especially nutritious and healthy, although it is an acquired taste especially for North Americans raised on a steady diet of fried chicken, burgers and fries, fast food junk from places they call euphemistically restaurants, and other processed food rich in fat, sugar and salt.
