The imagery she creates for that book is fantastic! You should also try "The Book Thief" if you prefer books with stylistic writing.
Because I'm curious by nature, what are you scribbling down in Chinese? (And how does that work on your keyboard? @.@)

I watched the movie of 'The Book Thief' but I haven't had a chance to read the book just yet. I'll put it on my list!

Oh, whale, the 对不起 meant 'sorry,' and the keyboard only works because I installed a windows-based keyboard for Chinese. It's done in pinyin, which is basically spelling out the pronunciation in English letters. Then, the characters that have that pinyin spelling show up and you can select them. See, to type 对不起, I have to put down the pinyin. In this case, the pinyin is 'dui bu qi,' so I type that in and the characters pop up in a selection thing.

*smirk* Are we talking about Chinese here? I live in Hong Kong so it's basically my second language xD How long have you been learning it? And why? 你喜歡中文嗎?


Sorry about the onslaught of questions! I'm just being curious (not unlike @thistle) 0_0 It's just nice to see a fellow Chinese speaker! [Or do you just learn how to write it?]

Jay, you little show-off! (>_>) I happen to know a little Chinese too, and I'm interested to see @Spazzycat101's reply to this. (Hopefully it'll be in Chinese too...)

I'll just toss in a random line of my homeland's dialect since we're swapping languages.

Mitch, Derg, Mana - do you two have a handle on another language?

I do not, unfortunately. At least not at the level you guys seem to.

 

[Spazzycat101]

Well, I'm not even really fluent in Chinese, I've only been studying for a couple of years. Unless a conversation is very strict and just so happens to adhere to the few words and phrases my class has learned, I can't really hold a conversation.

Aside from one or two other lines, that's the extent of my abilities, actually. x) Spazzycat probably has a better hold on Chinese than I do with Tagalog, because those were lines I had to memorize from a high school skit.

Okay.


I just imagined a cartoony-looking cat trying to hold onto a few words in Chinese that were suddenly animated and bucking around like a horse. ._.

@thistle Haha, I speak fluent sarcasm but that's about it

 

[Elfia Nightwing]

Ican.... Barely count to ten in french!

 

[JayfeatherRaven]

Aghhhhhh I couldn't see your posts again! >< Did anyone post in the main thread? No?

Ah, that's understandable Usually only locals know traditional because it's more complicated than simplified Chinese, but there have been recent disagreements about using simplified for tests and such. It's easier and also has less strokes than the traditional symbols, but sometimes it kind of leaves out the meaning that the words used to hold. Like love, for example.


The simplified verison:爱


The traditional version:愛


Some say that simplified Chinese leaves out the heart - 心 - for the word love, making the symbol lose its original meaning.

Interesting.


The textbook we used had both the simplified and traditional versions, though, and I saw some of them and thought 'why on earth would you simplify that? It's already simple!'

 

[Spazzycat101]

Then again I feel sometimes like I'm one of the only three people in my class who actually tries.

 

[Iomana]

I'm just going to...awkwardly plop down my ten year late response if this is...still a thing going on...

 

[DergTheDergon]

Yeah, I was wondering if this is still a thing... I was waiting for others to respond then life happened xD .

 

[Mitchs98]

I was waiting for people to post too

 

[Spazzycat101]

My first post is still in progress ;-;
