Chinese phrase translation: 的哥 (dīgē) male taxi driver

“的哥”是对男性出租车司机的亲切俗称。起先，粤语将出租车叫做“的士”，后来，进入普通话里变成了“的”（注：“的”不单独使用）。所以，开出租车的男司机，就被人们亲切地称呼为“的哥”了。相应地，出租车女司机，叫做“的姐”。

"的哥(dīgē)" is a colloquial way to indicate mail taxi drivers. A taxi is called "的士(díshì)" in Cantonese. Later, it is shortened as "的(dī)" to represent taxi in mandarin (Remember "的dī" should not be used singly). People usually call the male taxi drivers "的哥(dīgē)" amicably. Correspondingly, the female taxi drivers would be "的姐(díjiě)".
