What is the best Chinese-English web-dictionary? My vote goes for Line
Noah Anderson
I usually use mdbg if I need to use a web dictionary, but in almost all situations I just prefer to use Pleco on my phone since it has such a wide variety of dictionaries.
Landon Green
I'm glad I read the "Circle of Chalk" It was pretty good
hungarian version? if so name of the translator pls
Luis Stewart
Translator was Ferenc Tőkei. He translated the Tao te Ching,The Annalects,Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio and I think the Zhuangzi too. All translated directly from chinese.
Juan Young
Have you practiced the Three Represents lately?

Jace Young

Connor Jackson
Ok. It was an edition from 1960. Published by "Magyar Helikon" (For more information)
William Peterson
thanks
Jace Evans
god i've never heard of this book as a chinese
Lincoln Harris
wow what a shame
Daniel Russell
It's sort of famous in the west because Bertolt Brecht based his play on this Peking opera. Sorta like how Tibetan Book of the Dead is famous in the west but it's not that big of a deal in it's homeland.

Most hungarian editions are pretty old. I have books from the 50s-60s-70s-80s. They rarely release these things. Exceptions are the Art of War and the Tao te Ching. Both got a brand new release in 2016 as low budget books.(999ft~around 3 bucks) And Taigong's Six Secret Teachings,which just got a fresh translation and a shiny hardcover release.
Dominic Gray
o, i see, it does not have a chinese wikipedia page while there are english & japanese version of it. im quite suprised to find that there is an adpation in the folk opera in my area
This text was prepared for students or it's a part of an actual article?
Sebastian Gutierrez
its a bullshit from a wealthy ceo during an interview
Mason Garcia
Is there any point in learning chinese?
Anthony Reed
tip no.1 don't learn it
Thomas Anderson
getting with chinese girls and sucking their qt toes becomes easier
Chase Perry
yeah but they are already million of them in my uni and they all speak english.
Hunter Martin
I wouldn't recommend it, unless you are especially interested in their civilization. Learning Chinese is extremely time consuming and quite unrewarding for many years, at lesst in my opinion.
You will be able to go to Guizhou and enjoy China's red history.
Noah Moore
Fuck this guy

why do chinks always have this massive wooden furniture and a table covered by a glass plate
Owen Miller
because no taste
Logan Kelly
新年快乐~
Leo Powell
>why do chinks always have this massive wooden furniture and a table covered by a glass plate The furniture represents an image of old Chinese nobility I think.
The glass topped table is practical I guess and it's pretty common in the west too.
I'm sitting in a massive pic related

There are two major writing systems for Chinese characters… one is traditional, used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau etc 新年快樂 The other is simplified, only used in mainland 新年快乐 Not much difference in happy new year though

I wish Japanese people could live in China without fear of being kidnapped or killed for ransom money.
Matthew Wilson
Comfy as fuck. How much was it?
Dominic Torres
he did the right thing for once

So Chinese dragon can fly but it doesn't have any wings? I find that hard to believe.

What languages will be easier to learn if I ever get passable at Mandarin? In general, what languages have/had influenced or been influenced by mandarin the most?
Brayden Powell
You will only recognize some Japanese characters, but it may be also very confusing sometimes, for example the Chinese word for "bicycle" is "自行车", in Japanese it's "自転車", but the Japanese word "a car" is "自動車".
>In general, what languages have/had influenced or been influenced by mandarin the most? The best question would be - what languges were influenced by Classical Chinese, today Mandarin was rather influenced by neigbouring languages (many Chinese thinkers studied in Japan that was seen as the leader of proper Asian modernisation). Some ancient Chinese words were borrowed by the Japanese and then reintroduced to modern Chinese, like the word "democracy" - "minzhu" (民主). Generally speaking you will find many cognates comparing Mandarin, Japanese and Korean: "man" M: ren; J "jin" (one option, there is also native "hito"; K: "in" (but there is also native "saram" Both Japanese and Korean have two sets of words - native and Chinese-like and you ue them in different context
Kevin Johnson
Sorry for typos in my last post, anyway, I remember from my textbooks that about 80% of Korean words has those Chinese "siblings" (another example: "love" may be "ai" in Chinese, it's also "ai" in Korean, but Koreans may also use their native word "sarang", depending on context), in Japanese it would be about 60% words, generally speaking they use these Chinese-like words creating compound words - so as I mentioned "hito" is a "man" in Japanese, but to say a "Japanese man" you use that Chinese-like "jin" and you have "nihonjin", not "nihonhito"
Adrian Bennett
>80% of Korean words has have, sorry
another example, this time from Korean - take the name Samsung - in Korean it's 삼성 Samseong ie. "three stars", but it's a compound name related to Chinese "三星" (sanxing), you can find many similarities like that
Jonathan Morgan
no, just taiwanese

Thanks man, I really appreciate it.

i demand taiwanese cuties now
Ryan Wilson
Let's say that there was a reasonably sized island at the coast of Germany. Weimar republic goes into all out civil war and the french rape the country too. The nazies lose the civil war and flee to the island where they hold out to this day Your family lives there and you live there.
Wouldn't you hate the mainland too?
I'm not saying it's good,I'm saying it's completely logical.
Kayden Phillips
I like how the KMT are nazis in your analogy. Very apt.
Ryan Ross
>you will never be gangraped by EVA AIR flight attendants
Ryder Sanders
You can't have a better substitute for them in this case.
Joseph Flores
the taiwanese chinese hatred is more like how euros hate gypsies because they're scum taiwanese just think they're somehow superior human beings to mainland chinks it's not like young taiwanese nowadays hold any grudge over china because of what happened back then
couldn't care less
Caleb Phillips
You can't deny that the superiority complex you are talking about doesn't stem from the civil war
Brandon Torres
Mainland is the authoritarian regime tho
Nicholas Ross
Taiwan was pretty much a dictatorship up until 20 years ago
Xavier Hall
>implying CKS isn't more authoritarian
Thomas Young
Weren't both a bit authoritarian back in the day?
Camden Davis

You really have no clue what you're talking about and I don't know where you get such weird ideas.

Josiah Baker
I'm Taiwanese
Josiah Sullivan
Modern Taiwanese sentiment is not fond of the KMT fwiw. And most Taiwanese aren't radically right-wing these days despite that view point being promoted in the West (sanitized of anything besides anti-PRC sentiment, ofc)
Matthew Turner
No you're not. We might as well be talking to a Sup Forumsack about what the national mood is regarding immigrants.
Isaiah James
what's your problem?
Tyler Flores
That you're a retard spouting right-wing nationalist propaganda because you think it will make the locals like you more.
Jaxson Evans
when did i do that?
Mason Perez

Camden Martinez
whew what is upsetting you so much? are you a mainlander?
as a taiwanese, i don't have anything against you.
Evan Sanchez
I'm not a chinese, I've just lived there and thus have the experience to spot these kind of lies. What you think is the is the taiwanese attitude towards the mainland is not the mainstream, it's the far-right, and it's not correct to repeat it to people who are ignorant of and curious about what that attitude actually is.
Levi Torres
To be fair I still haven't met a single taiwanese who has a non-negative view on China or mainlanders, and I know lots
Josiah Phillips
>It's the far right
well i guess then I only know hardcore Taiwanese nazis eh (including myself?)
As a Taiwanese I forgive you for your American stupidity.
Leo Jenkins
Yes, I'd say so .
Tyler Howard
You don't know what you are talking about I am sorry to inform you
Jaxson Long
There's actually no way you can compare mainlanders to roma and have any idea what you're talking. period.
Liam Hall
when did i compare them to roma?
Joseph Williams
fuck off numbnuts. You're exactly the same as retards that go to japan and start saying its invasion of korea was in self-defense.
