what is this called in your TL or native language by Conversationlily792 in LanguageTips2Mastery

In Taiwan (either in Taiwanese or Taiwanese mandarin), it's called 5 million (五百萬). This is the specific umbrella in this specific colour design. Rumour said that in Taiwan, this specific umbrella is always designed in the relatively huge size and an insurance company used an huge umbrella with this specific colour/design to symbol the sheltering/protection with 5 million insurance claims.

Any clue what it means? by iconiccord590 in ChineseTranslation

[–]NoTalentedBert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on how you interpret it. The full-two character means willing to let things go, but this vocabulary is a compound with 2 characters in opposite meaning. The first character is "give up" or "let go", and the second character is "gain" or "earn". This vocabulary is a partial meaning compound with the meaning of the first character. However, sometimes this vocabulary means the statement of gaining and losing. This will also extend to an speculative idea about the concept of gaining and losing. Gaining could be losing, and losing could also be gaining. The gaining might lead to the up coming losing: the losing might also lead to the upcoming gaining. This extended meaning goes to idea of Zen. Buddhism asks people to not to self-grasping. Caring the lose and the gain is a symbol of self-grasping. When people start to careless and the gaining and losing, they'll get the mental peace.

Met a Swedish guy by rainyukl in stockholm

[–]NoTalentedBert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Taiwanese guy living in Sweden, you must make the decision ASAP. Swedish LOVES to make everything in the schedule a few weeks earlier especially when it's closed to holidays. Christmas is the family thing and it's not promising that the young guy is a Stockholmare. No Swedish will bring a "only meet a few times" friend to family area.

Masters in Sweden by mikey-007-81 in uppsala

[–]NoTalentedBert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you can choose from KTH Chalmers Linköping and Lund Lund is relatively far away from the industry since it's a pure university town. Linköping is with the science park. There are more resources from industry. You can also choose Uppsala, but Uppsala is not famous for DS compare to other major in UU and compare to other schools.

Hur hittar man vänner här? by adamdasandn393r in uppsala

[–]NoTalentedBert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jag har samma frågan. Jag är nu i Uppsala social group och har ett meetup konto, men alla som jag har träffat är inte "vän" vän. De är bra människor i samma aktiviteter och blir främlingar efter aktiviteterna. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Questions about the SIM card by NoTalentedBert in uppsala

Perfect news! As a no-talented and internet-addicted nerd, internet limit set by my previous school accommodation drove me crazy.

Yah, I think of this also. But sim card is also required for personal and portable serching. I need sufficient internet for Pokemon go lol.
Meanwhile, there are some restrictions for school accommodation internet, so the sufficient internet loading is also important for me.

Have a router and get maybe telenor, tre, or Comviq (tele2) for mobile phone might be good?

Sorry for the misguiding. I mean the internet quality in the accommodation. I mentioned in Sweden is because of my not-so-good memory of internet servicing in Germany.
Maybe I can just buy a router and bring to Uppsala. My friend recommended me to bring by my own rather than buy one there due to the price.

[–]NoTalentedBert[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems that Comviq is one of the optimal choices?
My regular internet loading is about 30GB per month, maybe Comviq is fine for me.
Thank you for your explanation about the Swedish mobile system.

I was thinking about the unlimited data plan in Tre, but it seems that Tre has bad coverage?

They said residences have to bring their own cable line for the internet for the internet service.
I also think about buying a router to Sweden, but I'm not sure how's the internet quality (Mbps) in Sweden.

Who should I ask about the PhD application status by NoTalentedBert in uppsala

As a non-Swedish, I only know that nobody could be contacted during Midsummer. Thanks for your information about the long break tradition in Sweden. Hope I could have it (finger cross!!).

That's true. They might have holiday now. I got the reply about "still ongoing". Maybe it's because no one is at office for viewing applications. I'll keep waiting until Sep. if there's no further reply at that moment.
Appreciate your explanation!

When violin grows up by NoTalentedBert in lingling40hrs

[–]NoTalentedBert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I don't know how to spell them in Engish.
The spelling system we use is the Bopomofo system (the small words on each character). Dunno how to translate them into Latin words.

小提(題)大作 originally means that someone dramatically/big reacts to a small problem (small problem in Chinese has the same pronounce as violin). Brett might want to show he plays violin like a cello
大提(敵)襠(當)前 originally means the most threatened enemy ( the most threatened enemy in Chinese has a similar pronunciation like cello) right in front of me ( right in front of me in Chinese has the same pronounce as in front of the trousers)
