So.... No one in here has tried to learn Mandarin in here huh?
Let's talk about Hanji, heck worse let's talk about:
Which is pronounced like:
sì shì sì, shí shì shí, shísì shì shísì, sìshí shì sìshí;
shéi bǎ shísì shuō “shíshì”, jiù dǎ tā shísì,
shéi bǎ sìshí shuō “shìshí”, jiù dǎ tā sìshí.
Oh this is the lion rock pasta cave thing?
I don't know all the words in this, but I doubt it; it's a classic Chinese tongue twister.
The first line translates to "four is four, ten is ten, fourteen is fourteen, forty is forty. On the second & third line it's something along the lines of "whoever says 40/14 says <X>, <sth> 40/14", as far as I can tell.
Spoiler
No, I don't want to use a translator, where's the fun in that?
Oohh thanks
I've found the poem, I thought it was this one because of the amount of "shi"s. But yours is way bigger
This is China-nese. Original Chinese, its
四是四，十是十，十四是十四，四十是四十； 誰把十四說“十適”，就打他十四； 誰把四十說“適十”，就打他四十
Thank you for helping my point. Also.... Aaaaaa... Why is the so many characters?!
Its honestly only a handful of characters.
No I mean the minor difference ones. Or how I am supposed to memorize 5000 hanzi to be considered college literate. This is a bunch of repeating but good Lord there is a lot of individual characters out there.
It's sorta like memorizing the word encyclopedia. I'm sure if there were a handful of letters missing or wrong you could still read it. Because you don't memorize the letters but what it looks like. Exactly how Chinese works.
