Hi Hi Hi, I understand…Am I Chinese?
Good translation!
Only the last line in bold should read:
Only the devil, still the devil.
HKers referring to simplified characters (metaphor for China or Chinese government) as the devil.
Yes, you are crazy…
道高一尺,魔高一丈
魔 is good
Over my dead body. Simplied just looks like crap.
My kids learn the simplified stuff at school - for practicality. I look at their homework and it looks like a travesty to me. Also, I have to teach them that stuff like 靜夜思 (famous classical poetry) often sounds much better when recited with 7 tones rather than those nasally sounding 4 tones
Which dialect? Cantonese has 6 tones only.
It has anywhere from 6-9 depending on how anal you get about it.
What?
Come on, 6 is 6. Entry tones don’t count. If you grew up in HK haven’t they taught you 哥仔記牛腩麵?
Is this a Hong Kong or Cantonese forum?
HAHAHAHA. Great Video. Shades of Stephen Chow. Technically this is an American forum.
Over represented by ex-Hong Kong people.
