  Bu Zi Dao? That is hardly programmatic.

  Mandarin for "that"is much more problematic. It’s “neiga”. And we typically say it multiple times. So imagine someone pointing at someone and says “neiga neiga”

      I was told the same by multiple Chinese people, it sounds like “nugga” and is often repeated a few time, like the way Americans would say “um, um” and can absolutely sound bad without context or understanding.
