terrace house - so calm so zen
Tumblr media
I’ve been watching Terrace House: Opening New Doors on Netflix. And it’s just so relaxing. The tranquil setting of a Japanese town, the beautifully designed house. I’ve never wanted to live in another country more 😍

Chinese Internet Speak/Slang: HelloTalk (phrases by natives)
In my last post about hello talk HERE
I discussed my experience with the app, all the useful phrases I had collected. From native speakers of the Chinese language. So I thought i’d compile another list, this time focusing on vocabulary around what the young people these days are using to text online, or say to each other!

HELLO TALK: VOCAB + My Experience
So I was sick of being stuck behind my computer, learning and writing vocab, but not being able to talk to anyone in Chinese. I was looking around and thought i’d try this app called HELLO TALK. I’ve had it for two days so far! 
Essentially it connects you with someone across the world who has your target language in their mother tongue. And ideally you’d have their target language as your mother tongue. And the language exchange begins! 
Ofc there’s a bit of filtering to do, with people who aren’t willing to help you with your language and only want to speak in English. But once you find someone who has the same language learning goals as you it’s a matter of jumping straight into it. Try texting them in a mix of english/chinese and you can send back and forth voice memos to ask questions and improve eachother’s pronunciation :) 
Here is some key vocab points and some of the things I got asked and discussed from my language exchange with a guy from Beijing and a girl from Hainan and many others :) 
Even though there is a language translate function, it runs out after 15 goes if you have a free account. So I found myself forced to put things into google translate and look up things in the PLECO dictionary. Most, if not all of these sentences came from the native Chinese speakers on the app! So this is Chinese vocab in its most natural expression!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
BONUS SENTENCES: 
Asking your language partner to say things in English/Chinese 
1. Please say this sentence in English/Chinese
请用英文/中文说这句话 
Qǐng yòng yīngwén/zhōngwén shuō zhè jù huà
Setting a timeframe for your language exchange 
1. Let’s talk for an hour! 
一小时久 我们说吧!
Yī xiǎoshí jiǔ wǒmen shuō ba!
久: particle for duration of time
2. Let’s talk for half an hour!
半个小时久,让我们聊聊吧!
Bàn gè xiǎoshí jiǔ, ràng wǒmen liáo liáo ba!
3. I don’t have much time
我没有太多时间 
Wǒ méiyǒu tài duō shíjiān
4. I have to go to sleep now
 我现在必须去睡觉了 
Wǒ xiànzài bìxū qù shuìjiàole

Valentine’s Day: RADICAL Vocab Flashcards (10 cards)
Radical Vocabulary Valentines edition! Taking a slightly different approach with the words that have more than one character.
HOP to the base of the post for a “how-to” use the flashcards (they are a little out of the box) 
Quick Guide: 
Word meaning in CAPITALS, &  literal character meanings in bold.
Literal character meanings in CAPITALS, and radical components in BOLD CAPITALS.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A little how-to on how to read/use the flashcards, as they are a little different:
Tumblr media
WORD + CHARACTER MEANING
The top sentence approaches the word from a character based perspective. Breaking down each word into the individual characters and their root meanings. (Good if you already know these characters). 
Word meaning in CAPITALS, &  character meanings in bold
RADICAL COMPONENTS within characters 
The bottom sentences, reference the numbered characters in the image. They tackle the word from a radical approach. These sentences are used for primarily memorising the stroke composition within each character.
Individual character meaning in CAPITALS, and radicals in BOLD CAPITALS.
I hope it makes sense, i feel like it may be a little convoluted but room for improvement! 
Let me know what you think.

六書:The Six Standards For Categorizing Hanzi
As you have hopefully noticed, hanzi don’t all seem to work the same way, and during the Han Dynasty six categories were designated for describing the “logic” of a character. It’s not something that comes up a whole lot, but it’s interesting and handy for explaining to folks that it’s not all “lil pictures” ఠ ͟ಠ 
象形 xiàngxíng: pictograms, one’s like 火 or 馬. These arose from people using drawings to help remember oral stories, and then those drawings turning into more simplified and consistent symbols. 
指事 zhǐ shì: ideograms, things that “demonstrate” a concept. so like 上 and 下
形声 xíngshēng: an ideogram + a phonetic component. so you may not have encountered 氿 before, but hm it’s got water (三点水) and 九—it’s pronounced jiǔ & means “bubble up” as in spring water
会意 huìyì: joint ideogram, so two “meaningful” components that help make a new meaning. A 人 man with a 戈 spear, 伐 attack! (tho more literary now)
related thought: this is also the pattern of development for hieroglyphics and Sumerian writing, though as these got used for other languages eg Akkadian things would get used for their semantic meaning and get new phonetic readings that could then be remixed again, or used purely phonetically, resulting in a mixed system kind of like Japanese but if the kana looked more like kanji. (if yr into it I cannot recommend this book enough) So also no, emoji are not like hieroglyphics. 
转注 zhuǎnzhù: transfer characters, these are weird and not well understood. it seems to be characters that sound different but contain a similar part and mean the same thing, so 爸 and 父. The classical ones given are 考 老  so maybe cognates that separated but?? 
假借 jiǎjiè: loan characters. This includes old stuff like 来 which meant wheat but was pronounced lái anyway, and now if you want to talk about wheat you have to add the grass radical 莱, heh. This is also how names and foreign things are transliterated
So that’s how hanzi work! I think in ways there are overlap but these are the technical distinctions. For example “beer” used to be transliterated as 皮酒, aka skin alcohol and that’s gross, so it was changed it to 啤酒, with the “pi” that’s also in 埤 and 脾 but the 口 mouth radical since it’s phonetic, like 啊, 哎, and 哦.  Otherwise new characters are exceedingly rare and mostly only for elements, like oxygen is 氧, and has the 气 radical like other gases but the 羊 for pronunciation. I feel like you could also make a contemporary pseudocategory for internet punning or something, like 囧 being used as a face and all the censorship work-arounds. 
There’s soOoO much to talk about always but you can google around, here’s a Baidu article that has the old school classification poem, here’s an english rundown with more examples and a powerpoint. and of course wiki. (o˘◡˘o) 谢谢你们来我的TED talk

Colours: RADICAL Vocab Flashcards
Thought i’d try a slightly different approach, particularly for the nouns to remember them. By breaking down individual meanings of the radicals within each character + pairing with a context driving trigger sentence. With Chinese, the radicals tell a story of how the word came to be, so perhaps looking at Chinese characters through that approach will encourage another level of    long-term memory.
**Radical meanings are in bold + the vocabulary is CAPITALISED
