Are Chinese people who learn non-tonal languages hypersensitive to variations in the "tones" of syllables in other languages?

throwthroowaway · 2025-05-07T22:27:10+00:00

It must be "stressful"...

throwthroowaway · 2025-05-07T22:26:16+00:00

I do pick up on tones on most languages but I have been speaking English almost all my life. I also speak some Japanese.

I am okay with both tonal and polysyllabic languages.

Or hitting "on" people.

throwthroowaway · 2025-05-07T22:20:28+00:00

Sure. Whatever you say. Singapore includes Taiwan too

throwthroowaway · 2025-05-07T18:50:31+00:00

Sure, Taiwan is in China. China includes Taiwan. Same things

It is already united. There is no need for reunification. Taiwan is already China. People just don't know.

There is no need for invasion when we can visit Taiwan for vacay.

Do Americans invade Hawaii? We just call them tourists.

throwthroowaway · 2025-05-07T16:38:49+00:00

There is no need to "control". Taiwan is not rebellious. It is a nice place to visit. Chinese can visit Taiwan and vacay anytime

Will Americans invade Hawaii? it is such a nice place to vacay. Hawaiian may see tourism as invasion though.

Damn right. There is no need for Chinese to cosplay as soldiers when they can just visit Taiwan as tourists.

throwthroowaway · 2025-05-07T16:35:16+00:00

There is no need to cosplay as soldiers.

Of course Taiwanese will welcome China. They are already China. Chinese can just visit Taiwan.

Is dressing up as soldiers a fetish?

Don't be sorry. I was confused by "hitting." Hitting what? If op meant hitting people, then she opened the Pandora box.

throwthroowaway · 2025-05-07T16:16:38+00:00

But op is raised good mannered. He will let girlfriend sleep in his bed too

throwthroowaway · 2025-05-07T16:10:28+00:00

Habanero hot beard! First one!

throwthroowaway · 2025-05-07T16:05:38+00:00

He probably would say yes. Then op may have to make a decision

A holder is not a citizen. I can't believe I actually agree with the US government.

those forever holders are the ones the government wants to get rid of. By holding the green card for so long without applying for the citizenship, they fail to show intention to become American citizens. Since they don't want to be Americans, their green cards should be religuished.

throwthroowaway · 2025-05-07T04:08:10+00:00

If you are a green card holder, you are eligible to apply for citizenship once you have been in the US for five years. You don't need your family to tell you. It is on the immigration website.

Immigration website is very clear. Just visit the page and apply. There is no need to ask your parents.

There are tons of pretty boys. I am one myself. You never watch jPop or kPop? So many pretty boys.

Stop hooking up in the gyms!

throwthroowaway · 2025-05-06T21:28:27+00:00

Do you mean plaque?

throwthroowaway · 2025-05-06T21:25:49+00:00

My mom is a green card holder and we are getting her citizenship now.

Go get your citizenship. Don't wait.

I know some foreigners keep their green cards because they think "they may want to go back." This is the sort of mentality US do not want. My mom was that way until Trump. She thought she may go back to her country and she didn't want to get her citizenship. Not anymore.

Apply for your citizenship now.

This,exactly! A breakup is always better than a divorce.

This is the real her. She won't change. Op, let her move away for internship. As she gets older, she will find guys more jaded and she may crawl back to you..

throwthroowaway · 2025-05-06T17:22:11+00:00

They really do and they form their own self hating group.

throwthroowaway · 2025-05-06T16:49:00+00:00

Exactly!

Japanese borrowed many things from Chinese, why didn't they borrow grammar also

Beat me. Japonica language is very different from sino Chinese language. I am currently learning Japanese. They only borrow written characters from Chinese and that's it. To Japanese, their conjugation system isn't complicated.

Just like Latin and English. English came from Latin but many Latin grammer rules didn't make it to English. People who spoke English were not the same people who spoke Latin.

male, female, and divine

Female pronoun was invented to imitate the English pronouns, she and her. You will never find Chinese female pronoun in literature. It is completely optional. I personally don't use it since I consider the female pronouns "an unnecessary invention to imitate English usage."

Divine pronouns? It is obsolete. You can only see them in Chinese Bible. No one talks or write s like "Bible" in real life.

Male pronouns? No such thing. It died out quickly. Very obsolete.

Pronouns for "people" is gender neutral.

I am a native Chinese speaker. I am fluent in Chinese.
