@Ingrid9 Thank you. When both are correct, I would like to know which is more common.
What does it mean when some animals get "zi" added to their names?
Isn't qiū yǐn an earth worm specifically? You would not get one in an apple. What would you call a worm found inside and apple?

When I say “both correct”, no one is more common. Some animals get“zi” , that doesn’t have any special meanings. Yes,蚯蚓 earth worm. Apple just 虫子

Thank you. Is 虫子 chóng? Does that not also mean insect? If I Chinese person reads in a dictionary chóng = worm and chóng = insect, how will he know the difference between the words worm and insect?
- Simplified Chinese (China)
insects have wings and legs. Worms, no bones and legs. That’s the difference in English, I don’t know why you have this question.

@Ingrid9 I mean if they are both chóng in Chinese, the word for worm and for insect will point to the same thing. A Chinese person who does not know much English will not know the difference.

Worm 蠕虫rú chóng, insect 昆虫 kūn chóng.
Worm 蠕虫rú chóng, insect 昆虫 kūn chóng
