中国人很能吃苦 !!

中国人很能吃苦!!

This phrase according to my book means: "chinese people can endure a lot of hardships".

Is this correct? 对不对？
I don't understand, because here we have the verb 吃, which means "to eat"?

多谢

    Good translation!
    Your second question: You are correct because "吃" means "to eat" LITERALLY. In this sentence, "吃" has the implication "to endure", "to tolerate" and this "吃" adds strength to the meaning.

    sí.
    "吃" siempre significa ¨comer¨
    pero en esta frase significa aguantar

    沒錯！我覺得中國人真的很能吃苦！但同時我覺得中國人也要心胸寬廣點，多享受點生活！

    吃苦 is a slang phrase for "endure hardship"
