Guardian:
龙城的冬天都零下好几度了, winters in Dragon City are freezing
为了你这句话我练了几天几夜, how many days and nights did I practice because of what you said

Me:
在你的花园里有几朵花？
今年是二零二二年。

grayswandir linked the Wikipedia (mostly) comprehensive list of measure words, which is fun to browse through. I'm especially taken by 颗 for small objects (一颗珠子, a pearl) and objects appearing small (一颗星星, a star). How do you count stars up close?

行星 is new to me, thank you! I should look up all the planet names and find out if they're the same as Japanese.
Zhou Shen's second concert tour being titled "C-929星球", because he's canonically from another planet :P
Works for me. I hope he doesn't get too homesick ;) imagine having to commute to another planet for 过年？

I've never looked up the full list, but from the JP ones I've seen it's the same

And until further notice I am choosing to picture his commute back home as "nyan cat but more difficult" XD
