How to Say ‘Who only poses’ in Simplified Chinese
只会摆姿势的
zhǐ huì bǎi zī shì de
[jir hway bye dzrr shrr duh]
💬 Usage Tip: The [的] at the end turns everything before it into "the one who..." So [只会摆姿势的] means "the one who only poses," and you can build others the same way, like [穿黑衣服的] — "the one wearing black."
