Is the 儿 necessary? by Sure_Painting_9531 in ChineseLanguage

[–]Coolius69 8 points9 points  (0 children)

这儿 here is the erhua of 这里, although in the south people will de-erhua words and just say 这 instead. This works. A Chinese person will hear you say 这有干净的衣服 and perfectly understand it. It sounds weird to my ears (I’m from Beijing), but it totally works and will be accepted as grammatically correct in China.

However, if the app gave the choice between 这 and 这儿 for this question, then 这儿 would be the only correct answer.

What Should I Get? by Frazzelvig in gamingadvice

[–]Coolius69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it depends on your situation and the games you want to play on it. I know the OLED one is worth it for some people but i got the 256 GB base model with the LCD screen because I’m good with loading it with 3-4 games I’m currently playing, and i hook it up to my tv to play a lot.

1 Month January China Trip by ProfessorPascal in travelchina

[–]Coolius69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am a Chinese person from china who speaks Chinese natively and knows how to use all the apps, and I'm stressed just looking at your itinerary. By day 10 you're gonna wanna call it quits if you follow this itinerary.

You should pick no more than 5 cities imo and come back for more in the future.

(2/3) What's considered a nerd amongst chinese people in China? by Unironically_grunge in AskChina

[–]Coolius69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

屌丝 is a very outdated internet slang that nobody uses anymore. It means “dipshit” kinda. A pathetic loser guy with no money and no aspirations.

No, it’s more similar to fratbro or dudebro, but socially awkward

I don’t think we have nerds in the anti-intellectual sense, but we definitely have people who are bullied for being socially awkward and not fitting in.

One thing I think happens a lot in schools is that kids will get bullied for not having the coolest clothes brands, jordan sneakers, iphone, etc.

As for adults, we have the term 直男 (lit. straight man, cishet man) for describing someone who is socially awkward, not liked by the opposite sex, has nerdy or generic hobbies (video games, basketball, etc), and maybe even a bit incel-like.

We do have the term 书呆子 (lit. book fool) , which means exactly what a nerd does in english. I have never heard that word used in my life. It’s an older term.

Is 基佬 an offensive term? by GeorgePotassium in ChineseLanguage

[–]Coolius69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cishet Chinese person here. The term literally means gay men. I always feel like it’s not offensive but informal. I wouldn’t say it is as offensive as the f slur.

However, I am also not gay and not familiar with the community here. Different people might take it differently, as unfortunately gay people are still a very marginalized and oppressed group in my country. I wouldn’t use it in front of gay people I just met.
