I like how Rield's avatar matches his post haha.

Well, I assume when people say Japanese are "Chinese", they meant "華人", since English doesn't have different term for that word.

Also WuMingXuan, assuming that's your real name, where is the..."pi"...in there...

I know you're Chinese. :D Japanese uses Kanji characters from Chinese, so if only I could read more of them, then I might be able to understand what you said. XD

And somebody already voted "Unwilling". XD
Please don't ever treat Chinese to be the same as Japanese. Yes, Japanese uses Kanji characters from Chinese, but not all Kanji characters are the same as Chinese (there are subtle differences), and the sentence structures of Chinese and Japanese are totally different. The pronunciations of Japanese Kanji and Chinese are totally different as well. I am a Chinese myself, so I know.

My point is, even if you understand the Japanese Kanji, that does not mean you will understand Chinese.

(I hate it when people think Chinese and Japanese are more or less the same when they aren't at all. Just saying.)



No, they aren't. I never said they were, and I know that they have different pronunciations, grammars and structures. I just meant to say that I might somewhat understand what he was saying. :P That's better than nothing.

Welcome, Pipi! I'm also of Chinese descent but can't read or write Chinese characters. I voted "Willing" but I'll say in my case, my vote is conditional: both English and Chinese should be included in the posts. Let me put my explanation in the form of a situation I lived: one time I was invited to go out with these people who spoke Mandarin; I speak Cantonese (sort of); they spoke among themselves in Mandarin, effectively ignoring and leaving me out of the conversation and obviously, I became upset and just left.

And yes, while there's Google translate and other alternatives, I appreciate it when people at least try to include everybody in the conversation. Also, it gives you a chance to practice your English and become better at it. Sounds fair?
also, what does...."the couple returns" mean...

That's the end of my Chinese, which after
years of living in Taiwan is pretty bad.

The first sentence I understand. I know it is unfair to expect others to be fluent in their non-maternal or native languages, but at least we should try. There's this American TB series I have been watching called "Switched at Birth" that has several deaf characters who use sign language. The non-deaf characters eventually try to learn sign language to communicate with them. There are errors along the way, but the continue trying to learn and get better. To receive phone calls, the deaf characters have a phone with a screen to see an interpreter who uses sign language to tell them what the person in the other side is saying. Curiously, between the deaf people instead of calling each other they use text messages.

Everything else you said, I think your translator did a horrible job of translating and I can't make sense of it. One of the only things I understand from it is that you would like play a RPG with me? Also, you called me friend. So what is the website you use for translation?
I'm sorry uncle really me the Chinese a translator translated the language.

I'm awfully sorry to hear that. The translator is really wrong. Sorry.

For me is this: you a painting is moved me, respect for others, you make me love. Translator translated: your words touched me, you are my love and respect others. Hybridization?
