Q

顧客(客人)

A

Let me explain these terms for “customer”:

顧客 (gù kè) = customer
客人 (kè rén) = customer/guest

Breaking them down:
- 顧 (gù) = to look after/attend to
- 客 (kè) = guest/customer
- 人 (rén) = person

Note that 客人 (kè rén) is slightly more informal and can also mean “guest” in general, while 顧客 (gù kè) is more specifically a business customer.

一點/一點點
一點 (yī diǎn) and 一點點 (yī diǎn diǎn) both mean "a little/a bit" but have slightly different nuances: 一點 (yī diǎn) = a little/a bit - More common/general usage - Example: 大一點 (dà yī diǎn) = a bit bigger 一點點 (yī diǎn diǎn) = just a tiny bit/a teeny bit - Emphasizes an even smaller amount - Sounds more casual/cute - Example: 大一點點 (dà yī diǎn diǎn) = just a tiny bit bigger The repetition of 點 in 一點點 makes it diminutive, suggesting an even smaller degree than 一點.
