Question about Simplified Chinese (China)
I understand that both 一听汽水(儿) and 一罐汽水(儿) mean "a can of soda" but is one used more often than the other? What is the difference??

@4everlearning “听”是从英语的 tin 音译过来的，意思就是“罐”，意思是一样的。区别在一个是外来词，一个不是。罐更常用。

same.
as a general rule
we use 罐 in conversations, and you'd only see 听 in written things, like the menu in a restuant

@gyj021120 听不懂。<--- I actually wanted to say "hell no/fuck no" but since Chinese is limited... xD

@4everlearning haha in this case we don't have curse words to express the same nuance as "hell no/fuck no"
The closest one I can think of is something like 当然不, but its more like "of course not" and it is not a curse word.
You can say 我不会/我不懂...(append literally anything). To express I don't know/not knowledgeable in something.

@4everlearning 听不懂 only implies that you can't understand the listening part. or It could also mean I don't understand what you are saying.
