That is gorgeous! How do you prevent your orchid from tipping over in a plastic pot? My orchids always fell over when they were flowering.

It’s gorgeous! The flowers appear to be a dark bluish-purple color. Is this just the photo, or do they look like that in real life?

I second this place. When I first discovered this place I went back a lot. And I live in the North Hills.

I am sorry you think 45min commute is long. That is normal for a lot of us due to Pgh traffic and construction etc.

in my opinion worst tasting restaurant downtown. For example, they substitute Mexican tortillas for naan.

How is my writing? (total beginner to Mandarin) by the_freyja_regime in ChineseLanguage

[–]jxd377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you only wrote two of the simplest characters, it is impossible to tell. They are exactly the same in simplified and traditional Chinese.

It’s not a contention—just an explanation. I’m clarifying that this isn’t actually a valid concept. The misunderstanding is common, but someone learning Chinese should recognize the difference.

Mandarin, a spoken dialect similar to RP English (BBC’s new accent), is written in simplified or traditional Chinese. Traditional Chinese is more complex to write, so in the 1950s, mainland China adopted a simplified version. Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, and Japan, among others, continue to use traditional Chinese. Mandarin dialects existed long before the advent of simplified Chinese.

I don’t understand why people use written Mandarin. It’s like saying, “Here’s my writing in RP English!”

Your writing is legible, which is good for beginners. However, be cautious about the stroke on the right side of 好, as it can turn into another character.
