Nóngmín Peasant 农民 Literally Means Farmer Unlike English

Вопрос
农民
nóngmín
Ответ
Literally means “farmer” or “peasant” (unlike in English, “peasant” is a neutral term in Chinese) but when said disdainfully can carry the same “country bumpkin” connotations as tǔ (above). However, nóngmín is not used nearly as often as tǔ.
