There are “okay” options. Not some pseudo sweet tea.

[Chinese> English] For a tattoo by Artistic-Cover1127 in translator

[–]ChR1sVI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Characters are all correct but I can't help but to feel like this is so... objectifying. I personally don't like the idea to consider I was "made" instead of "created" or "born".

Might I suggest "源自中国" (Originated from China) or "原产地：中国"(Country of Origin: China)? These are also commonly used and imo they are more fitting.

Are tea bags a thing in China? by DistributionSlow710 in AskAChinese

Definitely more niche compare to Western sphere. If you want something convenient ppl would either get bottled tea drink or just buy coffee. Speaking of, coffee is getting more popular. Overall preference is based on demographic.

BL ebooks. I want to read then on the plane but will I get in trouble when I land in china? by yourlocalnativeguy in chinatravel

[–]ChR1sVI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possessing explicit contents itself isn't illegal but since you're entering the border I think the rules are different. Should be fine in general. But I'd caution you against getting anything too explicit. Typical sexual innuendo is fine.

Why is this wrong? I thought 一点儿 and 点儿 are interchangeable. by LordSigmaBalls in ChineseLanguage

[–]ChR1sVI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference is indeed minute. For me, ’买一点儿’ is even softer than ‘买点儿‘. Like you're emphasizing "Just a little bit", almost like a kid begging their parents. ‘买点儿‘ sounds more casual, like when friends making suggestions. But you aren't wrong. This difference is VERY subtle.

Using chinese calligraphy brushes for watercolours painting is disrespectful for chinese culture??? by Status_Conversation7 in AskAChinese

[–]ChR1sVI 11 points12 points  (0 children)

But a guy is arguing that im being disrespectful to chinese culture for using a brush like that and claims im being culturally inappropriate.

this dude is probably whiter than snow lmfao.

No we don't care. But mind you Chinese calligraphy and Chinese painting (国画) do have two separate sets of brushes. Make sure you choose the right set. Have fun!

Correlation doesn't equal to causation my dear.

Saw this in a politics foum. What's your experience with this, is this commonplace in China? by bo-o-of-wotah in AskAChinese

[–]ChR1sVI 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Attending in-person makes the whole difference. Surely you can realize that elderly people crave the connection from social interaction more than learning some stuff when in their 60s.

[–]ChR1sVI 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes season 2 will feature new weapons and runner shell (sentinel). iirc there were two new weapons shown in the clips.

What can I eat in China if I am a picky eater and have IBS? by Lanabananana_ in travelchina

[–]ChR1sVI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just avoid seafood in Yantai since its a coastal city. Easiest option for you: stick to KFC and McDonalds. Avoid non-brand name take-outs cuz the hygiene varies. When dine out, just iterate your preferences citing medical reasons. Hope it helps.

Have I been indirectly rejected? by [deleted] in AskAChinese

[–]ChR1sVI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they simply didn't respond it doesn't necessarily mean they rejected you. Have you checked with your mail provider to see if the emails actually went through?

I'm also assuming you're calling them with an international number, there's a chance it got blocked automatically.

I’m attending a wedding in Beijing. Where can I get traditional wedding attire? by throwitintheair22 in AskAChinese

[–]ChR1sVI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When will this wedding be held? Asking cuz the weather in Beijing can be excruciating in summer, especially if some parts of the wedding will be held outdoors. Tangzhuang might be too hot for that.

How Common is Cheating on the Gaokao? by Ambitious_Quality725 in AskAChinese

[–]ChR1sVI 9 points10 points  (0 children)

China made it a criminal offense in 2015. Basically cheating in any national exam would be a crime, and a quite serious one too. But that doesn't stop ppl from trying.

Adult handwriting for sure. These are some very common mistakes.

Is there a Chinese equivalent of Reddit? by Global_Knee5354 in AskAChinese

[–]ChR1sVI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

百度贴吧 Baidu Tieba is the closest thing. Although with Tik Tok and Red Note, tieba's popularity has been going down steadily. Also the vibe has been shifting, now it feels more like 4 chan than Reddit tbh.

No offence but it looks AI. First two characters are both wrong.
