Mnemonic


A 山寨 knockoff good is made in a different location from the real deal. So if someone takes you to a random broken-down 寨 stockade that is on top of a 山 mountain to buy some Gucci, you should know that it is probably a 寨 knockoff product!

Usage


这 是 一个 山寨 手机。

This is a knockoff phone.

山寨 产品 价格 比较 低。

Knockoff products are relatively cheap.

他们 买 了 一些 山寨 电器。

They bought some counterfeit electronics.
