That means [Because of... there is...]

"So cool, the grass in the yard had all freeze into ice~so cold."

I think it should be written as 恩 with a 口 in front( couldn't find the word).

嗯 <-- you mean that?

its just a way some mandarin speakers say (or rather a sound) to express confirmation/affirmation.
...

its like the english equivilent of "uh-huh"

Koreanwind is actually not accepting new registrations at the moment.
They usually open the registrations for one day like once a month.
It's quite hard to join ;x
How about this website?
http://www.chinese-tools.com/tools/convert...in-unicode.html

Thanks that's what I was looking for! I wish there was just someway to automatically input it though without having to go through a website...
And hey you're from Boston too, awesome

Just off topic, Tamago86 are you learning Chinese now? just curious 'cause if I'm not wrong you are already fluent in japanese.

Yup, I took a class over the summer for it but didn't have time to fit it into my schedule once the semester started, so I'll be starting up again next semester =)

.........can anyone translate this? " 哇超屌`前院後院草地全結冰~冷冷的瀚"

and what does "恩" mean? my friend (he's a fob) always says that like in the sentence....恩```有``, and i have no idea what it means.

translation: 哇超屌 wow, super cool/ (fvkn awsome!) lol..just had to write it!! its a word that Jay chow always use...basiclly the usage of that word is like the usage of 'kawaii' in japanese language... just say it to wteva u think is �wow'

恩 its not really fob...its just everyday conversational thing that ppl adds.. it would sound like 'en' or 'ng' nd though it is not the formal way or typing it (i think someone pointed out the formal way) ppl just use it infomally... its like typing 'ok', sometimes we just type 'k'. >W<" wel i do anyways.

[*UnReaL]

can anyone tell me what this means? 我的眼終於失去　你的臉 TIA~

[lisaloveu]

^ it doesn't really make sense. it says "my eyes finally lost your face'.. but taking a guess, i think it might say "your face finally(eventually) disappeared from my eyes (sight)"

[Joanna]

woww! thanks so much lisaloveu! those random phrases were REALLY useful!! i always wondered what the literal meaning of "bai tuo le" meant cuz i always hear it

[thatonekid]

pfft 簡體字和繁體字都要寫嗎? >__>
我台湾生的，但是我一嵗就來到加拿大然後沒有在連我的中文。bleh, 快要什麽都看不懂

上中文學校一點都沒有用．

你們大家怎麽樣練中文？自己看書啊？

我和我妹妹都在美國生的, 而且我中文學校只上到五年級。也是說我現在已經五年沒上任何中文課程了

可是我的中文還算OK的, 因為我們家都講國語, 也常看中文的電視節目。看連續劇裡的字幕對練習唸中文有很大的幫助喔
呵呵, 我從來不看書的

中文學校真的一點兒屁用都沒有。我有個朋友到現在還在上中文學校, 中文超爛的

'I crave to cry out for this dream to be a realization'

can someone write that in chinese for me?!
thank you!

[lisaloveu]

^ 我渴望这一场梦是一个现实。(i crave this dream to be a reality.)

or

我的心里呐喊着让我实现这个梦想吧！(I'm crying out in my heart to let this dream be a realization)

i'm not sure how to put it into chinese with the exactly wording in ur sentence....so u mite wanna see wt other soompier translates.

[SOCKBUNNY]

Can someone explain these to me?

機車, GGYY, 龜毛
你鬼扯
矜持、撐、逞強

I've been having trouble understanding slang terms
heh, hopefully somebody here knows, since babel fish can only translate proper mandarin....

[cRoSsTaGe]

龜毛 - Means picky as for example trying to be perfect in something.
你鬼扯 - Rubbish...talking crap
矜持 - acting with constraints. E.g like a girl shouldn't talk loudly in public cause it spoils the image of what a girl should be.
逞強 - act tough.

Sorry if my translation sucks.

[lisaloveu]

機車 ... if u say some is that..ur saying that person is realli rediculous (i think) or the situation is just really 'ugh' lol .. i cant think of an exact translation.

it is similar to saying 'thats retarded'


撐 is slightli different in diff situations. e.g wen eating.. u can say it wen ur really full after the meal.. 撐死了

or if u say 有人幫我撐腰 (literal meaning: someone is supporting my waist) it is like saying someone has got ur back.

err.. I can't pinyin anything so someone else is going to have to do it for you.
the bottom actually means life.
the right means fortune.
i think the left means precious.
kanji is japanese btw.

yea i know kanji is japanese, thats what i learn. so i was just interpreting it in kanji first to see if the root was the same in hanzi (chinese characters). thanks for telling me about the hanzi though!!!
I think my friend is gonna be happy to know that it isnt the same in japanese lol.

Oh I see.. I read wrong then sorry.
I'm actually studying Japanese right now as well.. some kanji has the same meaning in Chinese, but not all.

[SOCKBUNNY]

長 chang(2) - long
命 ming(4) - life
貴* guay(4) - expensive, valuable
富 fu(4) - fortune

*I think that's what it is, it looks like the character is written wrong... unless it's really something else, someone correct me if I'm wrong

[yongwonhi]

^pinyin for 贵 is gui. :]

edit, er yeah i used simplified haha.
