Does "my 'strong' Chinese roots" make sense?
Somebody is trying to describe that she feels strongly about her Chinese cultural and ethnic root. Can she use the adjective, "strong" in this case -- I am reminded of my "strong" Chinese roots?

Thank you!

Answer

Hi there,

Yes, in my opinion 'strong' is the adjective I would use for this phrase.

Answer

If a Chinese person living in China used it, I think it might be redundant or obvious, but for a Taiwanese person, or someone living in another country, sure.
