  1. RE: g0v.social/@e78783/11657696300

    For Internet resources marked as "in Chinese [language]", especially those in Creative Commons License or open source license, can't they specify it is in Traditional Chinese or Simplified Chinese?

  2. #Language

    I'm a 3rd gen #AmericanBornChinese (#ABC).

    Grew up hearing #Cantonese, which is my native #ChineseLanguage, spoken all around me when I was growing up but I was never required to speak Cantonese with others.

    So, while I can speak a few words & phrases, I cannot carry on a conversation in Cantonese.

    I've dabbled with learning how to speak Cantonese well enough to carry on a normal conversation for some time using books & tapes, which always resulted in failure. in the past.🤷‍♂️

    I'm at it again, this time using #GoogleTranslate to help me in the process, which I'm using to learn new words & how words should be pronounced & structured to carry on a conversation.

    Hoping to keep at to to gradually build up some fluency that I can practice w/my ABC GF, who knows how to speak a bit more Cantonese than I do.

    Wish me luck! 🙏

  3. Learning #ChineseLanguage is quite fun. Especially once I started recognizing some words spoken and written in a few Chinese anime series we watch (#LinkClick, #ToBeHeroX and #LordOfTheMysteries). :blobfoxaww:
    I think I'm still below A1, but it might be even more fun than when I picked up #Yiddish.

  10. 🐲 The #ChineseLanguage and its #writingsystem ✍️ represent one of the most enduring and unique linguistic traditions in human history. Rooted in the Sino-Tibetan language family, #Chinese evolved in a completely different cultural and historical context compared to the #IndoEuropeanlanguages. In this post, we briefly explore its origins and development and its linguistic characteristics and significance:

  11. Here's the recent post on Mapping Mandarin™ at Substack. This is a short story I wrote about an experience living with Mongol herders in a yurt. It's difficult, but should be interesting for native speakers or high level learners.

  13. For anyone who can speak #Chinese #ChineseLanguage #Mandarin ... having an issue with a poor translation.
    ANY idea what "Left Peptide" and "Right Peptide" means in the context of a car headunit / radio?

    As far as I can tell, it has something to do with what side the steering wheel is on I think, or which side the driver sits at, or something about the driver's door.
    I can't tell what it actually changes though.

  14. Just learned a new #chengyu: 心灰意冷 xīnhuīyílěng, discouraged or disheartened.

    I think you could translate this literally as ‘heart in ashes, thoughts cold.’ Baidu Baike says it’s from Journey to the West: baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%BF%83

  15. This wiki bio I wrote last year came up on my watchlist and in re-reading it I'm very unhappy with how awkward this translation sounds (I didn't translate it, I read 0 Chinese, it was in a book somewhere).
    Can anyone suggest a more elegant Chinese-to-English translation for this 平民女子会 ?
    It currently says "Association for Women Masses" which does not sound idiomatic in English...

  16. I have used and recommended the Chinese Character Wiki in the past, but only now realised that its data set is also open source! Everything you can see on a character page can also be found in the JSON file they provide.

    Even if you do not speak or learn #Chinese, have a look, it is fascinating: dong-chinese.com/wiki/%E5%88%B

  17. Interesting that the Chinese expression for reconsideration – "think twice" in English – is "三思"/"think thrice".

  18. Found an old undated guide to writing letters in Chinese 言文對照廣註寫信必讀 in a Singapore used bookstore. I scanned it and posted to the Internet Archive for anyone who wants to browse it. One book by this title is on worldcat as dated 1921. #china #chineselanguage #asianists #histodons #internetarchive
