If only more people had known this about Chinese Grammar without being overwhelmed by the rest

Only the symbols fail to be consistent or follow basic entomological rules compared to Cantonese or English

Once you get past the thousands upon thousands of characters. And the different tones. I'm only a little bit of a masochist, I'll stick to Japanese, thank you.

Oh.. i would find it worse, as it makes recognizing questions vs statements harder. 🤔 but im a weirdo, i actualy loved doing all the tables for nouns and verbs forms in Latin classes for example. But i hate learning new writing systems, really hard for my dyslexia.

Chinese is easy - just need to put the time into listening and getting used to the order of the words. And there aren’t many or any (probably less than a handful if any) exceptions to rules - possibly because it was formulated by the government over the first few decades of the 20th century - based on the Beijing dialect, to be just that - easy - so everyone could learn it in the country and subsequently help the economy

since when does 想 mean think? Isn't it want
@RaidersDnB10 сағат бұрын
Examples : 梦想 Dreams or 想一想 think The character on its own can mean think or it can mean would like 想要certainly makes it want or would like 要is to want or will do something Single characters in ancient script had more vague meanings by today’s standards-that have since been solidified by the modern written language evolving into mainly double characters which have more specific meanings. 想 also means “desire” : that’s a thought and a want - so has most likely branched from the concept of desire

If you could do puzzle then you could learn chinese characters well too If you break it down, it is basically just those few strokes combinations

Still needs a lot of raw brute memorization. Which is still good for the brain and cognitive excercizing.

People are always amazed when I tell them I'm learning Mandarin because of the characters and tones. I always tell them that it's incredibly consistent and logical, the grammar is far easier then that of many of the languages we get introduced to in the UK as kids. It definitely has its own difficulties, but so does any other language.

It might be easier but our neurons are cemented in different manner. I say this as a Spanish speaker, even English is culturally very similar. But Chinese, even it's objectivelly simpler in terms of grammar, requires new neuron wiring which will take several years. And I am willing to take it!

Learning the sound of the words is one thing; learning the characters is a vastly different other. Chinese would be much easier to learn if it had an alphabet. Yes, I know about pinyin, but as far as I can see, that's not actually used anywhere.

They way you speak is so intense, regardless in English or in Chinese. I thought you try to annunciate your Chinese pronunciation. Apparently, this is just how you speak.

The United States is doing everything possible to plunge the Eurasian continent into a full blown war to engulf the continent. It’s obvious. They want to destroy Eurasia and exploit it when it is in ruins. Don’t fall for their trap. Trying to ban Tick Tock. The United States is an empire of lies and trickery. It’s all about the money laundering and has nothing to do with the people. What a tragedy this culture has become.

Double 大 makes it more 大. To emphasise the 大

Like “really really” or “very very” but their double words usually double the adjective instead of the adverb
