酒吧常連 (jiǔbā cháng lián) - bar regular
Grammar & Usage
How it works
This compound noun combines 酒吧 (jiǔbā, 'bar') with 常連 (chánglián, 'regular customer'), a loanword borrowed directly from the Japanese term 常連 (jōren). While standard Mandarin typically uses 酒吧常客 (jiǔbā chángkè), this variant is often found in ACG, izakaya, or Japanese-influenced nightlife contexts.
