Talk:Baozi

message: Being Cantonese, I've always heard it pronounced as "bao", and for the most part, "Pao" and "Bao" are the same thing. So I think they should be merged.

replies: text: They are probably different. Being Mandarin, I've never heard of the word Pao, but the fact that it the filling may be omitted differentiates itself from Baozi, which always has filling (the current article is kind of ambiguously worded on that subject). I would go for keeping them seperate. — Edward Z. Yang(Talk) 20:43, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

message: There must be a connection between "bao" the English word "bun", the Spanish/Japanese "pan" and the French "pain". Does anyone know the etymologies?
Sorry, but there's no connection. The word is derived from the verb "bao" 包, meaning to enwrap, and the noun form "baozi" in the present sense is attested as early as the Song Dynasty (960-1279), before extensive contact with Western Europe. (There might be an even older monosyllabic form with this meaning, but I'm not sure.) The etymology of the word "bun" is doubtful according to the OED, but may be from the Old French bugne, meaning swelling.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.243.75.45 (talk) 17:23, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I've seen this called hum bow / humbow / hum bao in quite a few local restaurants and bakeries. Although now that I Google it, it looks like this may be a name just used in the Pacific Northwest or even just Washington State. Any ideas on the meaning of this name or if there are other regional names for it? If there are, perhaps that could be a new section in the article. Lupusrex (talk) 06:58, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: "bow" is clearly a respelling of "bao".  Not sure where the "hum" comes from, but it could possibly be for some version of Mandarin "han" or "hen".  Reminds me a little of 汉堡包: "hanbaobao" = hamburgers.  219.143.150.114 (talk) 03:38, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

message: So, according  to the article, some baozi have Panda or "diaria" filling. Isn't Panda consumption illegal? And what is this "diaria"? I assume it's a corruption of the word diarrhea. In that case I believe it's quite unhealthy since diarrhea contains E-coli.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.52.240.68 (talk) 04:43, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Baozi →  – Although "baozi" is gramatically correct in Mandarin Chinese, English-language sources mostly refer to these as "bao buns" or simply "bao".  Bao is an existing primary redirect. 162 etc. (talk) 17:32, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
