  • 'shǔ' means 'belong to'. 'shǔ gǒu' means 'belong to the astrological category of the dog.' There are twelve astrological signs. Each Chinese person has his/her astrological sign based on which year he/she was born.
  • 'kuài dào le' in 'Nǐ de shēngrì kuài dào le' means: 'it will soon be ...' For example, 'shíèr yuè kuài dào le': It will soon be December.
