'remove chinese say' is the definition.
'takeaway' can be an answer for 'remove' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'chinese say' bit.

'remove chinese say' is the wordplay.
'remove' becomes 'take' (synonyms).
'chinese say' becomes 'away' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'take'+'away'='TAKEAWAY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for takeaway that I've seen before include "Out-of-restaurant experience" , "Of food, bought for eating elsewhere (4-4)" , "Remove - portable food" , "Type of meal" , "Cafe selling food to be eaten elsewhere" .)
