It's pretty easy if you already know Traditional Chinese.

No it isn't.

I'd rather just stick to traditional characters then
Benjamin Brown
It's very easy for me, I don't really have to learn it specifically. But then again I'm native speaker. That being said, I agree simplified policy is a bit unnecessary, inb4 the age-old dispute.
Colton Davis
it's not big deal if you are actually familiar with chinese

Why? Ps. To be honest I have the feeling you are the autist from the jap thread. Whats your opinion about france and french people?
Samuel Green
>native speaker So am I. Nothing to do with the fact. I can read traditional 草字 just fine like what my parents write but can't understand what the communists invented. And before you say anything yes, they are different.
Angel Rivera

i don't know, hookers are kinda gross to me
Jacob Gray
I mean I recognize some simplified characters, others I might understand based on the context, but they're few. I studied in Taiwan so I'm not exactly familiar with simplified characters... basically the only place where I come across them is here on /sino/
Bentley Morris
Sure, why not?
Jaxon Thomas
But I can, buddy. That doesn't mean I like it. I hope one day mainland can bring back Traditional Chinese.

Nolan Ramirez
I love taiwan.
Ethan Perry
>But I can, buddy. That doesn't mean being familiar with traditional will automatically make simplified understandable. Even if we assume that your one sample point is the rule and not the exception there could be many more other factors at play than just the fact that you're familiar with traditional, like your parents being from or have worked/lived in post-Mao China for instance. Fuck's sake my man learn to think for a bit. Is this what I can expect from the product of Tsai's and DPP's Taiwan?

Let me provide you a few examples: Pure Traditional / Simplified 臺灣 / 台灣 一雙 / 一双 體育/体育 國家/囯家 People here also use these simplified words on daily life time to time, buddy. These are called 俗體字。
You can't understand them, that's just your own problem, doesn't mean it's completely incomprehensible for native traditional Chinese users.
Andrew Thompson
>doesn't mean it's completely incomprehensible for native traditional Chinese users. I have never said this. The only point I've ever made is that being familiar with traditional doesn't necessarily mean that it'd make simplified understandable. ~(P -> Q) doesn't imply ~Q -> ~P . Learn to think logically for once. Also you're literally using 草字 as examples which I've said that I do understand. You're actually retarded. Taiwan's fucked if all they can rely on are people like you for this generation.
Oliver Bailey
>~Q -> ~P Should be ~P -> ~Q
Jack Cooper
stop being such a pissy cunt just because you're too retarded for simplified L O L
Lots of so-called 簡體字 are derived from these 俗字/異字 we are still using now. This is the real fact no matter how hard you try to deny, buddy. Don't be afraid of admitting you have shortcoming and mistakes, learn from your mistakes and increase your knowledge is a good thing, it will not make you look like a fool.

>Download New tong wen tang browser extension >Instantly converts all trad to simplified >Or you can set it up to convert all simplfied to trad
I have no idea why people complain when others write in the form they don't understand when a simple extension is all you need.
Levi Russell
Why are you still giving examples of things that I've already told you that I understand? Do you not know the difference between traditional 草字 and simplified? Hint: one is used in ancient classical Chinese art and writing and the other isn't. >Don't be afraid of admitting you have shortcoming and mistakes, When did I do this? I've already said repeatedly that I don't understand simplified. You're just completely fucking stupid in calling out your ridiculous assumption that all native traditional speakers must be familiar with simplified. This is pathetic beyond belief. How many more goalposts are you gonna shift and how many strawmen are you gonna set up before you realize how much of an embarrassment you're making out of yourself?
>native traditional speakers must be familiar with simplified well 99,9999% of them are you retarded slant what kind of "native" are you anyway
Grayson Russell
>When did I do this? I've already said repeatedly that I don't understand simplified. You're just completely fucking stupid in calling out your ridiculous assumption that all native traditional speakers must be familiar with simplified. Should be: When did I not do this? I've already said repeatedly that I don't understand simplified. You're just mad that I called out your ridiculously braindead assumption that all native traditional speakers must be familiar with simplified. Haven't had any coffee this morning.
Jayden Sanders
why you keep saying 草字 and not 汉字?
Hudson Thomas
I know you are upset about you can read it like me or some people, but it's fact that many of we traditional users really can comprehend simplified Chinese directly, and we are also using some of them, that's also fact.
Eli Ortiz

Because that's what my parents refer to them as. Chinese "cursive". >I know you are upset about you can read it like me or some people Not really, I don't have a need to read it anyway. >but it's fact that many of we traditional users really can comprehend simplified Chinese directly, and we are also using some of them, that's also fact. Proof of your claims? And all you've done so far is provide examples where it's classical Chinese cursive (which I've repeated told you that I do understand), not communist simplified such as whatever 旧 is. If you can't wrap your head around this I don't know what the fuck I can do to help you or modern Taiwan. For fuck's sake man I was correcting my reply to you. Goddamn you're actually 喜憨.

>Don't be so mad, admit you have mistake and ability limit is a good thing. I did though. Literally the first thing I've said in this thread is that I don't understand simplified. It's actually you that wouldn't admit your mistake of assuming that being familiar with traditional makes you understand simplified. You can deflect and project all you want but at this point it's getting old and I don't expect idiots like you to practice what you preach. >2009 Yeah I've already left Taiwan at that point so it's really irrelevant here. I wasn't just taking about the new generation of Taiwanese who was still in high school when Ma was in power.
I know I shouldn't have expected Sup Forums to harbour any shred of intelligence but I didn't expect the retards to be so vocal.

>I don't understand simplified Yes, then I merely said this it's not very hard to learn it if you already know traditional Chinese, right? But this doesn't seem to apply to you, unfortunately.
And then I told you traditional Chinese users here are also using certain 簡字/異字/俗字 thus some of us can comprehend it directly, right? But you just seemed to refuse accepting it, and kinda triggered, and insist your statements, what a shame.
哪學的髒話?不要讓你媽抓到你亂耍嘴皮 "it's not very hard to learn it" isn't the same as "It's pretty easy if you already know Traditional Chinese", the latter statement of which presumes knowledge about simplified prior to the learning process. Yes I'm sure I could grasp it if I bothered to learn it since I've already repeatedly told you that I understand 草/俗字 but apparently you don't know how to read. It's obvious that you're not very proficient in English (even though it exists in the standard curriculum much before 識正書簡) so I'll chalk this up to a communication failure instead of you just shifting goalposts around like an idiot. And again, 識正書簡 is a relatively new policy which wasn't even universally adopted by all schools in Taiwan so I'm not sure what you think bringing it up would do you any.
Nolan Murphy
there are a lot of vietnamese students at my uni, they're all pretty nice, but they seem to hold the chinese students here in disdain. one of them had a rich mom that owned a fairly large business in vietnam, so she sent her daughter to study here. she made some moves on me, and she nice and all, but she just wasn't attractive and seemed to have relationship issues with her family. friendzoned her when she asked me out.

In China, is it a certain kind of person who hacks and spits or is it a regular thing? I'm living with three Chinese dudes in an apartment and there's this one guy who's hacking up something every five minutes or so, whereas the others don't spit at all.
Bentley Brooks
gross people do that
Alexander Walker
Now I know why you can't understand S-Chinese, you ether are using translators or your Chinese is just becoming rusty. 我現在瞭解為何你看不懂簡中,若你不是用google之類的翻譯器英翻中,就是你的中文已經生疏了,文章組織能力也不太行。寫得甚麼破中文?
So he's saying that for Chinese people to imagine something, they have to start with basic things and then extrapolate?
