“Chirba Chirba” literally means “Eat eat!” in Mandarin Chinese when you’re speaking to another person. However, the expression embodies a very warm, hospitable feeling when uttered, especially to a friend or guest. In an attempt to communicate the intensity of warmth of “Chirba!”, one might translate it as: “This is so delicious, and it makes me extremely happy to see you enjoy it without hesitation, so please, eat!”
