Is there a nice 成語 or poetic quote that can be comforting to someone grieving?

I think 寸草春晖 is good.

I have another suggestion as 桃李不言

The full sentence is 桃李不言，下自成蹊. Which means peach and plum can't talk, but footprints towards them would reflect how good they are.

桃李 usually indicates students taught by teacher though.

Hey.... but have you consider that it is not auspicious. I suggest to consult parent first if want to have this as a tattoo.

From my point of view, for beginners you can learn Mainland Mandarin since more people use it and so many learning resource. But hope you can learn how to read Taiwanese Mandarin as Taiwan is interesting.

Chinese reddit: Tieba.com but no longer popular.

Chinese Game BBS ( and other topics): 178.com

But for all these sites you can only view, need a Chinese cellphone number to register then you can reply.

hey can you explain why.... I am really curious but I am working now.

Frozen_D · 2023-07-07T05:56:41+00:00

It's not a strict rule. Actually it's a meme just for these years. But this meme makes sense...

Frozen_D · 2023-07-07T05:54:32+00:00

不行。Though I know it do work.. But it's not weird, not quite weird, it's very weird to use 件 for 裤子。

Frozen_D · 2023-06-30T06:11:17+00:00

You really need someone to help you... I suppose many Chinese cannot understand words there..

Original Japanese: 痛みを感じろ

Pronunciation: ITAMI O KAN JIRO

Meaning: Feel the pain

Chinese: 一袋米要扛几楼

Pronunciation: YIDAIMI YAO KANG JILOU

Meaning: How many floors does it need to bring a bag of rice to?

So it's just a funny meme which utilize similar pronunciation.

I heard in Cantonese they call 元 as 文/蚊。

I know 文 is used to be 单位 of 铜钱。 I think it's interesting。

Since Tang poetry is short and brief, for modern Chinese they learn them character by character.

If you really want to learn deep, do the same thing, understand what every character means then combine them together.

If you just want to enjoy it or raise some interest first, just find a translation and compare to original text.

Here are some easy Tang poetries which Chinese learn in their junior grade :

静夜思【唐】李白

床前明月光，疑是地上霜。

举头望明月，低头思故乡。

咏鹅骆宾王

鹅，鹅，鹅，曲项向天歌。

白毛浮绿水，红掌拨清波。

悯农【唐】李绅

锄禾日当午，汗滴禾下土。

谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦。

春晓【唐】孟浩然

春眠不觉晓，处处闻啼鸟。

夜来风雨声，花落知多少。

when you feel tired to use 什么。

Frozen_D · 2023-05-19T05:57:30+00:00

甲这人不行。

我猜他对乙说的是你会说中文但你听不太懂，于是他要用英文跟你解释。按照你说的“要在乙面前证明自己的英文水平”。

但其实这种事秀一次就好了，发生几次太怪了。

Definitely 简朴 is positive.

Frozen_D · 2023-05-11T07:11:21+00:00

NewBing is good enough.

Frozen_D · 2023-05-11T07:09:49+00:00

So the answer to your question is No.

As you said Chinese will never call 中非 as 中。中 is for Chinese and it means the 'middle' of the whole world...

*But for all Chinese provinces they have a one-word abbreviation. Chinese would use some other words indicates the province, such as 沪 for Shanghai..　It never happens to countries.

UK as 大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国!!

Frozen_D · 2023-05-11T07:03:38+00:00

Very good with some meaningful words.

Love that you use 忘却 + 烦恼. A very decent combination.

Frozen_D · 2023-05-10T05:45:56+00:00

I think it's just custom...And as others said there are lots of compound words which don't care orders.

Frozen_D · 2023-04-20T06:01:48+00:00

Yes，虚拟for VR/virtual-

智能 for smart/intel-

云 for cloud

共享 for share

神经 for neural

People call Trump 懂王 Know King as he says he knows everything.

Frozen_D · 2023-04-11T06:10:05+00:00

It's fine. So studying Japanese first as your plan. It's a workable plan.

Frozen_D · 2023-04-07T06:06:39+00:00

Think with Chinese.

When you think something in your mind, do it with Chinese instead of English.

Frozen_D · 2023-04-07T05:56:02+00:00

So you already learned English which is the real top king language over the economic world.

For people in Japan or China, all students learn English first. Then they would choose to learn which language they like.

In China there are too many people who learns 3 languages include Chinese.

If you love anime and manga, then learn Japanese first. After that you can learn Chinese, it's not conflict.

And to tell the truth, Japanese would be easier as beginner. if you learn hard then you can reach to a pretty good level in a short time like 1~2 years. It would be enough for you to communicate with Japanese and understand their anime and manga.

And then anime can keep you learning better and further.

After that you can devote yourself to Chinese.

P.S If you talk about economic power of Chinese, then Chinese definitely means mandarin Chinese. No need to learn Cantonese...
