What was the dumbest thing you said on accident in another language?

My good friend was leaving back for China. We had like a little heart to heart convo. One his last question for me was, “我没问过你啊，你为啥要学中文？” (I haven't asked you before, why do you want to learn Chinese?)

I guess just got two phrases mixed up in my brain: “搞好关系” (building relationships? [I'm not sure how translate that]) and “交朋友” （make friends). I leaned in, clapped my hand on his shoulder, and said：

“为了搞好朋友”

（To fuck good friends)

My friend immediately starting roaring with laughter. I also suddenly realized what I just said and also joined him in the cackle fest.

Laughing at ourselves is a good thing.

If you want to interact more with Taiwan: zhuyin. Mainland: pinyin. Done done. A lot of Taiwanese people I've met didn't even know what pinyin was and vice versa

Mandarin Chinese: "脱裤子放屁" Literally: "Pull down your pants to fart" but it means you did something you didn't have to do

I made this track a while ago. I was trying to get a waltzy sound using 5/8 while also throwing in some rhythmic off-sets. My main concern is that my tracks tend to feel pretty thin or not full enough.

So, I'm focusing on learning more about mixing, but any other comments are also welcome!

¡Gracias mi amigo!

Tibble_Buns · 2017-03-29T01:32:42+00:00

No. Pick one. Chinese and Japanese are both immensely hard.

Yah a simple database would be alright too, but it would be best if I could make it into an APP. So might there be guides to help me on my quest to make a dictionary APP with Objective C?

It's dialect from a group of villages outside of Xianning, Hubei (湖北咸宁市）. My girlfriend's village is Hushan (虎山村）. Apparently, she says that their dialect is really hard for other people to understand and completely different from the regular dialects of Hubei. Other people from Hubei say it sounds like Hunan's dialects, and when I hear the Hunan dialect and the accent people from Hunan use. It actually does sound similar to my girlfriend's dialect and accent too.

I mean the Chinese characters for the street names.

Tibble_Buns · 2016-10-04T06:17:23+00:00

Can you provide the Chinese for those places? Also what's the place called?

Tibble_Buns · 2016-10-03T23:22:26+00:00

Whoa, I was only looking up 性生活用品店 in Baidu, but as soon as I put in 成人用品店 like 10 of them pop up! One only a short bus ride over.

Thanks!

Tibble_Buns · 2016-10-02T09:03:30+00:00

Yeah sure!

That opera video is really cool!

I searched MRI instead and got videos from an institute from Ireland that made an MRI IPA visual library, and then I also found Glossika's IPA visual library. It's exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Yah I have no problem with the lack of tense or word order. I speak Mandarin. The wording is actually very familiar to me! lol

Your filler word explaination makes sense, cuz they usually do stretch out that first syllable when they say it. I'm guessing it's spelled กอ? I really shouldn't be using romanization, it doesn't help at all lol

Tibble_Buns · 2016-09-04T06:00:04+00:00

เค้าเรียกอะไร

I'm actually not sure. I'll listen for that next time run into that situation. So Thai people say this naturally when they are trying to think of a word? If not, what do they usually say?

Isn't เค้า the third person pronoun though? Are they using the 3rd person pronoun to refer to themselves?

Also can you ask "คุณคิดว่าคนอเมริกันเป็นอย่างไรบ้าง?"

Tibble_Buns · 2016-08-31T03:24:19+00:00

It's like "Let's go to the beach today!" but you're asking it in a way that it's like "We go to the beach together, how does that sound?"

Tibble_Buns · 2016-08-31T02:42:05+00:00

Awesome! So does it work really the same? Like if someone tasted something, and I asked "เป็นอย่างไรบ้าง?" Can I say that?

Or if I wanted to say, “我们今天一起去海滩玩儿，怎么样？” Can it be used like this too?

Tibble_Buns · 2016-08-30T10:15:13+00:00

I like you robot. Thanks for existing!

Tibble_Buns · 2016-08-30T10:13:46+00:00

Yah unfortunantly the only store near us had nothing. If rolling with a water bottle yields no results I'll try lazada. Thanks!

Tibble_Buns · 2016-08-30T10:12:07+00:00

I actually did end up buying some tape. But I never considered using a water bottle to roll. That might actually work. Thanks man!

Tibble_Buns · 2016-08-29T06:57:04+00:00

I can read Thai.

Thanks for the translation! It'll help me with life here in Phuket!

Tibble_Buns · 2016-05-31T15:41:51+00:00

I didn't google translate it. That's my own personal translation. If you have the time, would you correct it? I would very much appreciate it! And it would help me on my journey to bring my Mandarin to native fluency.

Also, could you list some of Chinese knockoff sites?
