How do you write toilet in Chinese?

There are several ways to write "toilet" in Chinese, depending on the context and the level of formality. Here are a few options:

Formal:

* 厕所 (cèsuǒ): This is the most common and neutral term for "toilet". It can be used in most situations.

Informal:

* 洗手间 (xǐshǒujiān): This literally means "hand-washing room" and is more common in public places like restaurants and shops.

* 卫生间 (wèishēngjiān): This literally means "hygiene room" and can be used in more formal settings.

* 茅厕 (máo cè): This is a more traditional term for "toilet" and is considered old-fashioned.

* 便所 (biànsuǒ): This is another traditional term for "toilet" and is not commonly used anymore.

Slang:

* 茅坑 (máo kēng): This is a slang term for "toilet" and is considered vulgar.

It's best to use 厕所 (cèsuǒ) unless you are in a very specific situation where another term is more appropriate.
