ni3 xi3 huan1 ka1 fei1 hai2 shi4 cha2 你喜欢咖啡还是茶?
The Chinese people use the sound of the coffee and made these two words Ka1 fei1 咖啡, while long time ago, English speakers adopted the sound of tea (t’e) from China. In Taiwanese, people still call tea as t’e (dei).
There are a few way to express the meaning of or in Chinese. You can use hai2 shi4 还是or huo4 shi4 或是, both mean or. For example, you can ask your friend “Do you like summer or autumn?” In Chinese, it would be ni3 xi3 huan1 xia4 tian1 hai2 shi4 qiu1 tian1 你喜欢夏天还是秋天or ni2 xi3 huan1 xia3 tian1 huo4 shi4 qiu1 tian1 你喜欢夏天或是秋天.
