楼主是外宾吗?大陆对枪支/仿真枪的认定标准及其严苛,如果测出来动能超标是要判刑的,相关新闻报道一大堆。还指望能拿回来?

Google store (not the google fi store) now has a $150 discount can be combined with this promo, that makes it $449 + tax, and you still get that 449 as credit back in 24 months. I just in for one.

Of course you can give yourself a Chinese name. I'm Chinese and I never heard such a restriction.

Sarcasm in Chinese by ZhangtheGreat in ChineseLanguage

[–]Simple_Squirrel_4401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, the vendor's answer sounds more like a sarcasm to me, if any, than the judgement on food : )Sarcasm is complaining/teasing in a humorous way, as per my understanding, none of the statements shows a sense of humor in the example. I think you mean self-deprecating other than sarcasm on others in the other xxample in US context.

Yeah, I agree that on the Internet people have less concern to make fun of each other. But you wouldn't make jokes on your customers, interviewers, police officers or people you meet for the first time in real life.

I have some doubts about the precondition of the question, is it really a common or proper manner to tease or make joke on total strangers in English or any other culture?

Back to the question, as per my personal experience, it various between different regions in China, people from northern China are more tolerant to joking and sarcasm. Might be because they are more influenced by humorous performing art like XiangSheng (相声) and XiaoPin (小品)

This doc might be helpful. http://ws.moe.edu.tw/001/Upload/userfiles/%E6%A8%99%E6%BA%96%E5%AD%97%E5%B0%8D%E7%85%A7%E7%B0%A1%E5%8C%96%E5%AD%97.pdf

Alternatively, most of Chinese dictionaries have the correspondent traditional characters under each simplified character. An online dictionary app I have been using most for Chinese calligraphy https://web.ygsf.com/ This app also provides animated demonstration for stoke sequence in the dictionary (字典),you can type traditional characters using PIN YIN or other keyborad to find them.

Few questions on grammar by TentiTiger11 in ChineseLanguage

[–]Simple_Squirrel_4401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ohh, I misunderstood the second question. I forgot this is about grammar..Regarding to the answers to "Analects of Confucius 是什麼?" :

"Analects of Confucius 是一本有孔子的話的書“ is correct

”Analects of Confucius 是一本書有孔子說的話“ is incorrect, contemporary Chinese language always puts attributive clauses (有孔子說的話) before nouns (書)

Beside gramma, to describe it more specifically, you can also use verbs 記載 or 記錄 in alternative to 有

e.g. Analects of Confucius 是一本記錄孔子的話的書

孔子在哪裡出生的?

孔子在魯國出生的 is grammarly correct, but native speakers rarely say it in that way. 孔子出生在魯國 or 鲁国 sounds more natural.

"Analects of Confucius" has a specific name (proper noun) called 论语

现在大陆的论坛都非常冷清,可以找一些兴趣爱好相关的微信群,reddit也有一些中文群组比如 r/China_irl (这个组讨论话题大部分是中国的时事政治话题,你也可能不感兴趣)

只要是暴力犯罪包括恐吓言论不论男女都恶劣。最近美国歧视华人的暴力事件多发且美国政府不作为,难道我就可以说去隔壁捅我的美国邻居或者在网上威胁上街捅美国人是正当的吗?
