mikeszekely Posted January 1, 2005 Posted January 1, 2005 Chinese - Chu Shen Tan Either someone at that forum outright lied to you, or they gave you some other dialect besides the "official" Mandarin Chinese. "Happy new year" should be "Xin nian quai le!" Quote

"Happy new year" should be "Xin nian quai le!" so they had the chinese one wrong ? as for the original statement written "Chu Shen Tan" can any of you read what it actually says? does it say something vastly different? if so what does it say?

mikeszekely Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 (edited) Chinese - Chu Shen Tan Either someone at that forum outright lied to you, or they gave you some other dialect besides the "official" Mandarin Chinese. "Happy new year" should be "Xin nian quai le!" so they had the chinese one wrong ? as for the original statement written "Chu Shen Tan" can any of you read what it actually says? does it say something vastly different? if so what does it say? Well, when people say "Chinese" and they're not talking Mandarin, they usually mean Cantonese, the dialect from the Guandong Province, and also the dialect they use in Hong Kong (which might be why the West picked it up as Chinese instead of the more official Mandarin... importation of kung fu movies). I don't know anything else about Cantonese, though, so I'm just guessing. I suspect Graham would know better. Oh, and as for the whole "Xin nian quai le," that's "Xin nian," which is "New Year," and "kuai le," which I guess doesn't translate directly, but implies that the speaker is wishing you something happy. If you replace "Xin nian" with "Sheng ri" (birthday), you'd get the Chinese for "Happy Birthday." My wife (she's from Beijing) reminds me that "Xin nian quai le" is a relatively modern and trendy phrase in China... they started using it because the West says "Happy New Year." More traditional New Year phrases in Chinese would be "Guo nian hao," which means something like "Good passing of the year," and "Gong xi fa cai" which is something like "Congratulations and good fortune." *EDITED AFTERTHOUGHT* "Chu shen tan" might still be Mandarin, but I don't recognize it because of the romanization. Chinese doesn't romanize nicely the way Japanese does... there have been many attempts by many people to come up with systems. I forget which ones are which of the older ones, like the one they usually use in Taiwan (where "gong xi fa cai" would be "gong hsi fa tsai"), but the Chinese government eventually came up with their own, called Pinyin, which sort of became the most accepted way to romanize Mandarin Chinese. All mainland born Chinese and most modern Chinese students (myself included) recognize Pinyin, but as previously mentioned, Taiwanese and older students of Chinese may use one of the older systems. Problem is, my Chinese isn't good enough that I'd recognize Mandarin that isn't written in Pinyin. Edited January 2, 2005 by mikeszekely Quote

Commander McBride Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 Not much more to tell. I got in a verbal argument with some guy (who, it turns out, is an ex-marine) who chased me across the parking lot trying to kick my ass. So he's coming at me, I pull my airsoft colt on him and tell him that I'm a cop and will bust his ass if he comes any closer (Yeah, I don't know what the hell I was thinking, it seemed like it would save my ass at the time) I get in my car and leave. A few minutes later, the cops pull up on me and arrest me. So, I think I'll probably be charged with public exhibition of a replica firearm or something like that. Not a huge deal, and hopefully a good lawyer will get me off as a violation, with a bit of probation and a clear record. Quote
