So.... No one in here has tried to learn Mandarin in here huh?

Let's talk about Hanji, heck worse let's talk about:

四是四,十是十,十四是十四,四十是四十;
谁把十四说“十适”,就打他十四;
谁把四十说“适十”,就打他四十

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.

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?!

[-] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago

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.
