I wanted to wish my sourcing partner and her staff Happy thanksgiving.
Me: Gǎn jué!
Them: [Confused looks on faces.]
Me: Gǎnjué jié! jié!
Them: [even MORE confused] What are you trying to tell us, Kristina?
Me: Jin tian shi Gǎnjué. Mei guo de holiday.
Them: You mean Thanksgiving??
So I got "Thanksgiving" (感恩节 Gǎn'ēn jié) mixed up with "Feeling"(感觉 Gǎnjué) and so When I thought I was saying "happy thanksgiving!" I was just telling everyone "Feelings!" great.
