  1. 杂货商 = za2-huo4-shang1 = grocer


  2. it means grocer (salesperson). za2 = mixed huo4 = goods shang1 = selling

  3. 杂货商 is NOT Chandler!

    From Chinese:

    杂 = miscellaneous

    è´§ = goods; products

    杂货 = miscellaneous goods or products

    商 = merchant; Shang dynasty

    杂货商 = a merchant who sells miscellaneous goods. In other words, a "Jack-of-all-trades".

    How did you know it's "Chandler" when you don't even know the language?  


  4. za2 huo4 shang1

    "Grocer."

  5. Universal provider

  6. I'm going along with the previous answers.

    Given that the original meaning of chandler was candlemaker, how about 蠟燭商candlemaker (Mandarin la4 zhu2 shang1).
