    Zhǐshì dōngfāng

    只是东方

    Then when asked; what does it say you reply Zhǐshì dōngfāng...just dongfang.

    or you could have Zhǐshì yīgè dōngfāng
    只是一个东方 just a dongfang or 廉价的东方 which is pronounced as Liánjià de dōngfāng as in "cheap oriental"

    oh wait, no its not.. i was thinking of 这
    you could have
    这是很好
    this is very good.
    or
    这是不好
    this is not good

    or even
    你知道你要它
    you know you want it
    (possibly wrong as i had to use google translate for the work "'it' as i dont know how to say it)
    just because something is possibly possible, does not follow that is it essentially essential.
