Mod has to do it. And we have to get Ben's permission. Would probably be faster if you just asked him through AIM

Pin it!!!
Why is your pinyin not the standard! You have craeted something wonderful! As far as I know the purpose of pinyin is to transliterate Chinese into English sounds. It has always puzzled me why they bothered to create a system of transliteration that did not accurately represent the sounds. Better than Korean though. If they DO have a standardized transliteration system nobody is using it. And Korean is phonetic-- so it should be easy. They are probably just making it hard to download songs. Hyori? Hyoli? Lee Hyo Ree? Lee Hyo LEE? What a pain! Thai is even worse! |

QUOTE (ham_let @ Sep 9 2005, 12:53 PM) i want to hear a black person speak chinese. .____. Have you seen the 2 Rush Hour movies?  2 Can Mandarin speakers makes the sounds "ts" and "zh"? There are words such as "car", "thousand" which use the thin "ch" sound that my non-Cantonese friends can't say. They say it with a thick "ch" such as that in "chicken" or "choon bou" (= everything)  But wow, thanks for all that FrenchV!

Helloooo!!!
I speak cantonese since i was a little child, but I'd like to learn some Mandarin too. I'm actually looking for some sites where i can find lyrics of Mandarin songs in Chinese character and in pinyin.. that's also a way to learn Mandarin, since I know how to read pinyin.... Does anybody know some sites where i can find these lyrics?? Greetings!!!!!

omg pin this thread! took me a while to find it!
btw french, i can't seem to find the radical "speech." i'm trying to make flashcards right now but i need to know what "speech" (the radical) is in pinyin. and i might need to know what it looks like to make sure we are talking about the same thing thanks! learning mandarin is fun it's self-satisfying to know that you can actually write these characters and stuff. |

Speech? Speak? The only radical I can think of like that is 言.
I was working on the grammar part (I moved it up to the beginning of the thread) because Suijen told me to.  ....almost finished....

(what's the simplified?) thanks!! EDIT: btw, i found a cool stroke order site. http://www.csulb.edu/~txie/azi/page1.htm but i'm too n00b to distinguish from traditional and simplified. but i'm still waiting for ocrat to be up!!

As a radical form, that's the only way, but when it's in a simplified character it is squiggly (for example: 話 (traditional) vs. 话 (simplified), see the difference?
In Mandarin it's "yan2". Yeah! Dr. Xie is good. I recommend him. But I will tell when I finish the grammar part.
